Book Description
206 color photos 13 drawings 9 x 8 Poul Jorgensen has developed a legion of fans for his salmon and trout patterns, which have stood the test of time on waters around the world. Jorgensen launched his career with two books in the 1970s, Salmon Flies and Modern Fly Dressings for the Practical Angler. In response to the demand for updated treatments of these classics, Stackpole has released new editions of both. Poul Jorgensen's Favorite Flies is a revised, expanded version of Modern Fly Dressings for the Practical Angler, with full-color, step-by-step photos of selected patterns for trout, bass, pike, steelhead, and sea trout. More than 150 recipes are included. Poul Jorgensen was born and raised in Odense, Denmark, but has lived and worked in the United States since the 1950s. He is an internationally known authority on flies and tying, and the author of several books, including Salmon Flies: Their Character, Style, and Dressing (0-8117-1427-6).

Tie with a master. January 29, 2002
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Modern Fly Dressings for the Practical Angler, to which Poul Jorgenson's Favorite Flies and How to Tie Them acts as a sort of revised edition, was one of the most influential pattern/concept books of its day. This book, with the addition of colour, is somewhat more diffuse in scope, as is modern fly fishing, and contains some of the same patterns and many new ones. Overall the result seems less pleasing, and the absence of dubbing blends (PJ was marketing Sealex at the time) is but one way in which the book seems less focused. Jorgensen has a book on realistic fishable trout flies begging to get out, by some accounts he is working on one. Should it be published we will have a more worthy successor to Modern Fly Dressings for the Practical Angler than this one. This book is, however, a fine effort and will please those who have no comparisons to make. Newcomers will be offered a glimpse of why Jorgensen now stands in equal rank with other great Catskill tiers, and why he inspirers other contemporary masters like Oliver Edwards. Oliver Edwards' Masterclass would accompany this book nicely.
