This book features many tiers, including my friends, John Hagen and Rim Chung. John is a native of South Dakota and is professional duck and goose hunting guide, as well as fly fishing guide and professional fly tier. John’s passion is in dry flies, while Rim Chung’s is in nymphs, specifically the RS2 and his new Avatar fly. John lives at Boxwood Gulch, in Shawnee, Colorado. The book feature’s John’s Exploding Caddis and Prince Nymph, together with Pat Dorsey’s version of the RS2, which he calls the PMD RS2, where it is written that “His fly boxes are loaded with tiny patterns on these streams (in the Denver area), and just about every other row is some type of RS2. “My clients bring a lot of flies to net using this fly, so I maintain an ample supply of them.” The RS-2 is a very simple fly to put together and I recommend that you tie a few for yourself, writes the author. He says, “Take them to your local water and see for yourself how productive this pattern can be.” The RS-2 is also featured starting on page 104.
