Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new entry in the Stackpole Favorite Flies series covers flies for the Upper Midwest—Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. This area has fishing that is very different than the rest of the Midwest (Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, and Illinois), and Jerry Darkes leads anglers through it. The Favorite Flies series pulls together fifty important (either from a historical or fishing or both standpoint) flies from a particular region, tied by anglers with close ties and local knowledge of the place. Each fly featured in a spread that includes large, easy to see image, recipe, tying notes, and a supplemental image or possibly a few tying steps if a technique needs to be illustrated. This book, though not a tying manual, showcases important flies that work well on the water for a given area and a fishing/tying resource and tribute to the region.
