All about Flies: Everything the Fly Rodder Needs to Know

Written in a witty, irreverent and entertaining style, this book should appeal to both beginning and experienced fly tyers. The authors cover a wide variety of fly-tying topics, including: hooks; materials; fly pattern origins and their mystique; flies seen from both the angler's and the fish's viewpoint; tying instruction for dry flies, wet flies, nymphs and streamers; egg flies; and how to make your flies more beautiful and more durable. Included are tying recipes and instructions for dozens of familiar and lesser-known patterns for both fresh and salt water.
