Praise for The Art of the Trout Fly

The first time I saw Lucas Utrera's images on Instagram, I immediately followed him (and I don't actively follow many people). His flies are unique and different, and when he ties his patterns, every single hackle fiber seems to be in place. His book, featuring his own photographs (among the best fly images I have ever seen), is a delight to the eye with lots of bright colors and superbly crafted patterns. I imagine even a non-tier would be interested in this book-and for serious fly tiers, these patterns are examples of perfection for emulation.
