Product Description
Product Description
With a double-page spread devoted to each pattern, featuring step-by-step instructions in full colour, and ring-bound so that it will lie flat on the bench or table top beside the fly-tying vice, this is the ideal reference book for anglers who wish to tie their own versions of the most successful patterns in current use. Peter Gathercole starts with an introduction to fly-tying basics, materials, equipment and techniques. He divides the flies themselves into five categories: Dry Flies, Nymphs and Bugs, Wet Flies, Streamers, and Hairwings and cover patterns that have a proven success record in catching trout, salmon and grayling in rivers and lakes throughout the world. On each spread there is a key indicating which species the fly is designed to attract, a brief description of when and how it should be used, a full-colour photograph of the finished fly indicating the materials used for the body, rib, hackle, etc., the range of hook sizes for which the pattern is suitable and, on the facing page, easy to follow, step-by-step instructions for tying. A craft requiring patience, practice and the right instruction, this comprehensive guide has remained a highly popular choice among fly-fishermen since its original publication in 2003.

Format:Spiral-bound
... For someone like me, somewhat rusty and very unsure of modern materials (i.e. glitzy, ice yarn, micro flash etc) this book is a godsend, two pages devoted to each of 100 patterns across the fly fishing range - it will lie flat on the desk (it is ring bound) everything about the fly and the materials required, including degree of difficulty (and quarry!) is on the first page, precisely how to tie the fly is beautifully and clearly shown and explained on the second page.
Verdict - no beginner should start tying without it, improvers will love it, experts (I think) will enjoy it - buy it as soon as possible.

Format:Spiral-bound
this has to be one of the best fly tying books about,spiral bound so it lays flat on the table when im tying flies makes it easier to look at and follow the patterns unlike other books which keep flicking back a page or two,the content is extremely useful and the photographs and descriptions are very good and clear to understand.in general i would recommend this book to novices and pros alike to add as an addition to your other books.i can guarantee you will not be disappointed and when you tie your first fly from the book and catch your first trout your grin will be seen for miles around.i do not rate it 5 stars i rate it about 100+,have many hours of great fly tying and tight lines
