(Description) Signed by Both Authors! DJ has some sort of tooling markacross the front, otherwise this is a brand new book. *** (Synopsis) Gary LaFontaine has automatic name recognition in the fly-fishing world-he's known as one of the smartest and most dedicated innovators of new trout fly patterns in the latter twentieth century. His methods changed fly tying in America, and he was nowhere near done when he died of Lou Gehrig's disease in 2002 at age fifty-six. His death was mourned around the world. 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. These are the flies that LaFontaine spoke of during filming. These are the flies showcased in LaFontaine's Legacy.
