His methods changed fly tying in America, and he was nowhere near done when he died of Lou Gehrigıs disease in 2002 at age 56. Many of the flies in this posthumous collection of trout fly patterns are likely to become enduring standards. Authors Al and Gretchen Beatty were working with LaFontaine and tiers Paul and Char Stimpson on an instructional film in the months before the fly tier died. The 26 fly patterns showcased in LaFontaine’s Legacy with proper tying instructions are those that LaFontaine spoke of during filming. Throughout the work the Beattys provide thorough tying instructions which are accompanied by vivid full-color photographs to depict the various stages of creating each pattern on the tying bench as well as the completed fly. This book documents an important piece of American fly-fishing history. Your Price: $27.35 Customer Reviews     Write an online review and share your thoughts with other fly fishers!
