Author: JOHN BETTS.
Title: Synthetic Flies.
Description: Fair Haven, New Jersey. Privately published. 1980. First Edition. Oblong quarto (8 x 10 1/2). 68 pp. Text illustrations by the author. Mr. Betts created a near firestorm 40 plus years ago when he introduced synthetic materials and dry flies without the need for then $60 premium hackle capes. The flies are effective and somewhat easy to dress. And they catch fish. Step-by-step instructions show the easiest methods to make them. What’s not to like? The book is bound in tan wrappers with black titles. A near fine book.
