Fly Tying Books
.gif)
Fly tying is a wonderful
way to both save money on acquiring flies as well as to develop
certain niche flies that are designed for particular fly fishing
conditions or waters. Fly tying is also an excellent way to pass
the time away when you get bored. Of course, fly tying does take
some time to learn. And that is where a good fly tying book or two
can be of immense value. Even intermediate fly tiers can improve
their fly tying skill and knowledge by having some of the more comprehensive
fly tying pattern books.
So, if you tie your own
flies or would like to, browse through the surprisingly large selection
of fly tying books that are available.

Book
Description from Amazon.Com
This work is destined to become the trout fisher's standard
tying reference. It's about tying flies to catch fish
and is infused with Dave Hughes's vast experience, skill,
and common sense. Part One begins with his unusually
lucid approach to tying that emphasizes the need for
both searching and imitative flies, and moves on to
chapters on basic tools and techniques. Parts Two and
Three illustrate, with crisp color photos and explicit
captions, the wide range of flies Hughes has tested
all over the country and around the world. Fishing and
historical notes are interspersed throughout, and dozens
of useful variations to main patterns are listed.
