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. See more fly
tying books on the previous page.

Book
Description from Amazon.Com
This intimate glimpse behind John Gierach’s vise
focuses on the trout flies he has found most successful
and how he ties them. There are chapters on how he developed
as a fly tyer--from being a hopeless tinkerer who tried
every pattern there was to settling on a large handful
of favorite patterns that now catch most of his trout.
Gierach explores the tools he uses for his tying and
advocates those that are simple and basic (and few),
and he also makes his case for the use of natural materials.
Then there are cogent chapters on the flies themselves¾small,
medium, and large mayflies (which is how he arranges
them in his fly boxes), spinners, midges, caddis, hoppers,
nymphs, and streamers.

Book
Description from Amazon.Com
In 1890, Mary Orvis Marbury - daughter of the founder
of The Orvis Company - wrote to anglers all over the
country soliciting information on their favorite flies
and how they were to be made and used. Her inquiries
resulted in publishable responses from more than two
hundred fly fishermen in thirty-eight states. Marbury
compiled these responses to form this book, first published
in 1892. Favorite Flies went through nine printings
by 1896 - a fishing best-seller even by today's standards.
With its clear descriptions of nearly 300 flies, accompanied
by fascinating - and expert - advice on their use, this
definitive compilation sounds as startlingly current
today as it did over a century ago.

Book
Description from Amazon.Com
The Northwest's famed diversity of fishing conditions
and quarry requires a big fly box. To this end, members
of the Inland Empire Fly Fishing Club have selected
their 200 favorite flies, the culmination of 30 years
of on-site research and creative tying. Old Northwest
stand-bys make an appearance, like the March Brown,
Skykomish Sunrise, and Yellow Sally, and more recent
innovations like Kaufmann's Stimulator. While the sheer
number precludes detailed tying instructions, clear
color photographs and material ingredients aid the fly-tyer,
and the wealth of entomological and angling information
certainly makes this a welcome addition to the nontying
fly-fisher's bookshelf as well.
