Hi Scott, George's first book was self published, not sure how easy it is to get a copy these days. Could try emailing him: [email protected]. His second book "A fine Line" is still available.

Iain,

Thanks for the response; I’ll contact him and see if there are any copies left. If not, I’ll order A Fine Line.

Scott

Glad you got your lens problem solved; that’s a beautiful fly. I ordered that book from a shop in the U.K. last year but they ended up being out of stock; need to look again because I love his work. Can’t wait to see more of yours.

While I don't deny that there are crappy hooks out there, I've never bought into that 'lose the fish of a lifetime cuz you I didn't buy the most expensive brand' marketing baloney.  

Lost a few sizable rainbows (and smaller ones, too) on the Missouri when my #14 Tiemco 200s straightened out; for that specific hook, in smaller sizes, I go by the old General Dynamics motto - “you can get better quality, but you won’t pay more”.

Wholesale Fly Company. $7.00 for 100 hooks, free shipping on orders over $25; quality as good as my former favorite, Dai Riki, and a decent variety of styles. No salmon hooks and I haven’t used their saltwater but since I tie mostly trout flies, it’s not an issue for me.
