I only posted that link Steven as it's Amazon US. Don't know these days how much postage from UK to US would be plus any import costs/tax. It's quite a heavy book. I picked mine up from the BFFi nearly 2 years ago now.

Good price if it does including delivery. If not, I doubt if it comes to $83 equivalent!

The quote included shipping ,nobody has ever said fly fishing is a cheap sport. Thankfully water access in the U.S. is still free you just need a fishing license

Thanks again for the help . I have some books by Sylvester Nemes on soft hackle flies that I enjoy fishing,but I'm looking for more information on this style of fly

 

[wobbly face]

I have one of Silvester's books, found it a very good book though Robert's book does correct a mistake or two by Silvester.

 

[bennysbuddy]

thanks again fellas, this book is exceeded my expectations. I'm really enjoying reading this fine book & can't hardly wait for a foggy morning on the local lake to try the flies out
