Default Flies for Alberta Book

Hello Fly Anglers,

In 1998 Denny’s Fly Tying Specialties published a book of Alberta fly patterns titled “Flies for Alberta”. This book was authored by Reg. Denny, Ian Denny, and Roy Ramdeen. The surviving authors feel that this book should live on, and as such they have decided to produce a revised version in electronic format for anyone that wants to have it. The book is still copyrighted and cannot be sold, however it free to use by anyone that wants to download it. It is hoped that by releasing this electronic version, the legacy of the book and the patterns within it will live on!

I will post this on various facebook groups and message boards in the coming days.
Tight Lines!

Excellent plan. Brought back some great memories.

I have the book autographed by the 3 authors and a very special box of flies tied by Reg that he donated to the Edmonton Trout Fishing Club in March of 2005.

I still tie and use many patterns in the book as they are still very relevant today.
