 Crappie Fly Fishing: A Seasonal Approachby Terry and Roxanne Wilson Crappie Fly Fishing: A Seasonal Approach is the Wilsons' most recent book on warmwater angling. Other books include Bluegill Fly Fishing and Flies, Fly-Fishing Techniques for Smallmouth Bass, and Largemouth Bass Fly-Fishing: Beyond the Basics. If you want to know more about the Wilsons or purchase any of their books, click on the link below: The Bronze Goddess The Bronze Goddess is the creation of Mike Jacobs who is familiar with virtually every smallmouth bass stream in Northeast Iowa. I have fished with Mike when he used nothing but this little streamer taking as many as a hundred fish on a day's float. Mike also owns a fly tying materials store where you can purchase all of the materials required for the Bronze Goddess on-line. The link to Mike's on-line store "Hawkeye Fly Tyer" is near the bottom of this page.  Mike also wrote an article for Fly Tyer magazine which describes in detail the rationale for the Goddess, how to tie it, and how to fish it properly. If you would like to read the article as it appeared in Fly Tyer magazine and you have Adobe Reader, click on Fly Tyer Article.  Fly Tyer Article

As you navigate through the pages of Warmwater Fly Tyer you can click on most photos for a larger view. Hawkeye Fly Tyer My favorite fly tying materials dealer is "Hawkeye Fly Tyer" owned by my fishing buddy Mike Jacobs who also owns a couple of clothing stores in Eastern Iowa. I live in a major metropolitan area that has four fly tying materials outlets but I still buy most of my materials from Mike because he has what I want. If he doesn't have it he will get it for me. Mike will deal with you personally by phone and his prices can't be beat. Give him a call the next time you need materials. You won't be disappointed. By the way, Mike Jacobs has virtually every material I use to tie the fly patterns on Warmwaterflytyer. If he doesn't have a material that you need I'm sure he will find it for you.
