I recently purchased A Guide to North County Flies and How to Tie Them.
The book is written by Mike Harding (2009). I highly recommend if you see this book please do yourself a favor and purchase the book. I got a great deal from Amazon, however, I did notice some vendors are way over price. The book’s original price was 14.99 pounds (about $19.00). I believe the book is out of print so $40-$50 dollars would not be unreasonable. Again I saw some vendors trying to get in excess of $130 and more. This is ridiculous so if you see this please keep looking. I know there are other books out there that are more reasonably priced.
The book is 192 pages in length and shows 140 flies in detail. The photography is excellent and history plus materials are listed as well. I received a library copy from Lancashire County Library which was one of the areas where North County Spiders and Wet flies were developed. This book would be well worth your time and effort to find and buy. It listed materials you would need as well as substitutes, this is a great help for new tiers. Page 11 gives the sources and books that would help you in your pursuit of learning more about the kebari-like flies.
