My new book The Blacker Compendium is now available in a soft cover. (Hard cover "may "be an option in the future ) The book is 8-1/2 " wide and 11" high and has 160 pages. Descriptions and pictures of all of the Salmon flies from the 1855 edition of Blacker's The Art of Fly Making are included, as are several Ghost Flies and others. All the flies are dressed to my interpretation of Blacker's descriptions using all the correct materials of the day.

See My Photo Gallery for additional pictures of the book! I hope you'll enjoy reading the book and seeing the flies as I've had making them!
