Hilyard, Graydon R. & Leslie K. – CARRIE G. STEVENS (Maker of Rangely Favorite Trout and Salmon Flies) – 2000 1st edition – 162p – Stackpole, Harrisburg – Carrie Stevens is a self-taught legendary fly tyer from Upper Dam, Maine. Carrie created some of the most beautiful and enduring streamer patterns ever designed. If she had never come up with another pattern, the Gray Ghost alone would have insured her a place in angling history forever. But instead, she originated dozens of patterns for the landlocked salmon and giant brook trout of the Rangely Lakes region and several of those patterns are now standards. This long-awaited book is both a history of the woman and the region, as well as the definitive guide to Stevens streamers and their construction with comments by experts on the subtleties of her method. The tying section lists dressings for more than 100 streamers, 65 of which have never been published. – Book is fine in very good dust jacket with one minor repair. - $125.00
