The Fly-Tying Bible: 100 Deadly Trout and Salmon Flies in Step-by-Step Photographs
Avid sport fishermen will treasure this book?which is nearly as beautiful as the objects it describes. Fly-tying is a highly prized fisherman?s craft, but it?s also an art form, wonderfully captured in this volume?s hundreds of color photos. Each of 100 fly patterns is presented in a two-page spread: an enlarged photo and textual description on the left-hand page, complemented with a set of step-by-step, clearly captioned photos on the facing page. In addition, fishing enthusiasts will find sections on fly-tying tools and materials plus general instructions for getting started. The author, a well-known fly-tier and sport fisherman gives instructions on making traditional trout and salmon flies?all of them fish catchers of proven effectiveness in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Australia. Examples vary in complexity, with patterns to fit every skill level from novice to expert fly-tier. Here are dry flies, nymphs and bugs, wet flies, streamers, and hairwings?a virtually complete selection of traditional and up-to-date examples of the art. The book?s hidden spiral binding keeps its pages opened flat, which makes it ideal for reference at the workbench. More than 600 color photos.Product Details

#1 Pattern Book to Own
I have had this book for over a year and it keeps coming off my shelf as my number one pattern book. It is well designed, easy to use and the spiral binding makes it a dream for setting on your tying bench. I was really impressed w/ the quality of the pictures and the step by step instructions for basic, intermediate and adavanced flies. I have given this to several people as gifts and recommend it to everyone!
Fly tying made easy
This is a great book which covers alot of different flies. With the ease of the photos any person should be able to tie all the flies and come up with their own variations.
Fly-Tying made easy
Priced reasonably, this is an an excellent addition to fly-tying literature. It is beautifully printed, illustrated, and bound. Because of the spiral binding it lies flat. It is sturdy. The book's descriptions of fish and the flies that attract them are clear and concise.
I gave this book to an avid angler who has a small mountain of fly-tying magazines and books. He told me it was the best book on fly-tying he had ever seen. I'll be using it and giving it as a gift again.
