There is a very broad scope of techniques clearly and masterfully articulated in the pages of this book that fly tiers of all skill levels will find useful and aid in improving their skills, and I admire his use of both newer and older patterns to articulate his message. Very well done. — Rich Strolis, author of Catching Shadows: Tying Flies for the Toughest Fish and Strategies for Fishing Them

Charlie Craven is one of the most gifted fly tiers in America. His uncanny ability to share his passion with others is what makes him so special. — Pat Dorsey, author of Colorado Guide Flies: Patterns, Rigs, and Advice from the State’s Best Anglers and Guides

Charlie Craven always seems to find more efficient ways to produce sexier flies. Not only does he have a critical and creative mind, he is the best communicator in fly tying today, with a neighborly, engaging writing style and clear, detailed photography that will drag you kicking and screaming into the world of better fly tying. — Ross Purnell, publisher editor of Fly Fisherman magazine

This is the most comprehensive fly-tying guide to streamers to date. I highly recommend this book. — Blane Chocklett, originator of the Game Changer series of flies
