The Atlantic Salmon Fly: The Tyers and Their Art, Judith Dunham Canadian, American, European and Japanese tyers really show their stuff. Great stories about/from the tyers. This is the book that brought classic tying up front with amazing full page photos artistically presented.

The Art of the Atlantic Salmon Fly, Joseph D. Bates, Jr. If there is a bible for Salmon fly tying, this might be it. Yes, the bible can and is de-bate-d. The history lesson is worth it if not the classic recipes and compendium.
