Looking For A Book.

[Chase Replogle]

I'm looking for Ed Story's book "Missouri Trout Flys: How to Tye and Fish Them." Anyone know where to find a copy? Here it is on Amazon, but they don't carry any copies. I'm assuming it's out of print.

Angling literature without equal! Good luck in your quest because to get my copy you’d have to pry it from my cold dead hands. In all seriousness it would be a great find for you, it comes from a bygone period and attitude that fishing is not that darn complicated and should be fun.

I found a couple used copies on Amazon for $85. With your high recommendation It will get added to the wish list and I'm with you who says it all has to be so complicated.

Thanks for the insight.

Have you got Fly Fishing for Trout in MO by Chuck Tryon? I think it's an excellent book with a lot of good information about locations in MO. A lot of the rules have changed, and some of the info on places to stay will have changed, but that shouldn't matter too much.

Ness, Thanks. I just ordered it. Somehow I have overlooked this one. If you guys come up with any other Ozark specific fly fishing books please let me know. I'd love to review as many as possible to let people know what is out there.

Thanks again.

Good grief $85 is a bit much. I had my tongue somewhat implanted in my cheek when a described it as literature. it is a fun and informative home bound publication. But if the only thing you gleaned from it is what a great and effective fly a Tups Indispencible is that would be worth something. Oops, I didn't intend to let the cat out of the bag on the Tups.

Thanks for setting the record straight. I'll have to look for a little better deal elsewhere and have to key in on the sarcasm a little faster next time.

Call Ed's son Bob at Feather Craft Fly Fishing in St. Louis...he might be able to round up a copy for you.

Big Thanks to Jack Jones, for digging around on Amazon and finding a better deal.

There are still a couple left if you are interested.

Also, Gavin, thanks for the info. I have actually been to Feather Craft in St. Louis didn't realize the connection.

Glad you ordered that. I don't know the Ed Story book, but the Tryon book is great. It's a good intro to fly fisning, and lays out most all the locations.

Another book I really like, that is more geared toward small stream tactics, is Curtis Creek Manifesto. It's written in a comic book format, but don't think it's for kids. It has some of the best discussion of technique around, and the format is really helpful for making it stick. It's very concise, and heavily illustrated. Funny too.
