Fly Fishing Books: John Betts's Making Strip-Built Fly Rods from Various Woods on a Lathe

December 17, 2006 By: Marshall Cutchin

John Betts will be signing copies of his interesting new book at the Denver Fly Fishing Show January 5 thru 7. The book covers sounds truly unique in both topic and production effort: “The format of the book perhaps is as remarkable as the keen instructional detail. An accomplished artist, Betts produced the ring-bound work in flowing hand-written script. Along with his own illustrations, this is reproduced on manuscript paper to form a collector’s item rarely seen in publishing.” From the Denver Post.
