Third Thursday Flies
with Skip Morris

On the third Thursday of every month, Skip introduces you to yet another solidly established fly—he tells you what fish or fishes it's meant to catch, where it's best fished, how it's best fished, under what conditions it's best fished, a little of its history, and, in case you tie flies, he gives you the pattern (or dressing).
All the practical stuff, and a bit more.
