Allen McGee - Tying & Fishing Soft-Hackled Nymphs
"Trout often prefer underwater aquatic insects because they're more vulnerable than surface stages and are more abundant as well. Fly-fishers know the importance of imitating the specific life stage that trout are feeding on, however most current flies only imitate size, shape, and color of the natural insect. Soft-hackled nymphs also imitate movement and behavior. Tying & Fishing Soft-Hackled Nymphs explains how to imitate sub-surface aquatic insects using both traditional and modern soft-hackled nymphs and flymphs along with the most effective presentation techniques. By exploring effective thread and translucent fur body material combinations, as well as game-bird hackle collars, these flies take on life-like properties. These patterns can be fished throughout the water column from the stream bottom--to imitate immature nymphal forms--to the surface mimicking transitional emergers."

Floyd Franke - Landing the Big One: Fish On
When he was still a budding fisherman in the 1950s, Franke was taught that as long as he concentrated on "keeping the rod tip up, keeping the pressure on, and never allowing slack in the line," there was little more he needed to do to nab all the fish he wanted. But "playing" the fish is also a major component of the sport, and in this comprehensive, workmanlike guide, Franke sets out to correct the lack of educational emphasis on the subject. A member of the staff at the Joan and Lee Wulff School of Fly Fishing, Franke offers expert lessons on hooking and landing, fishing conditions, equipment, catch and release, "knowing your fish," and his three rules for playing big fish.

Robert H. Boyle -Dapping: The Exciting Way Of Fishing Flies That Fly, Quiver, And Jump
Proclaimed as the easiest way to fly-fish--the wind carries the blowline, which carries the fly to the fish--dapping is all but unknown in North America, yet it is extraordinarily popular in Ireland and Scotland. The dapper uses the wind, even a breeze, to carry the blowline that carries a fly that flies, quivers, and jumps exactly like the living insect. And dapping drives trout, bass, salmon, and other gamefish wild with desire. In this first and only book published in the United States exclusively on the subject of dapping, Robert Boyle examines this unusual but highly effective technique, giving details on how to rig and fish a dapping rod equipped with the proper reel, backing, blowline, and short leader. He describes the proven flies to use, along with the materials needed and the tying procedures.
