Description
Attention fly fishers! Here is a fly-tying book you must own. Endorsed by Orvis, the best-known name in fly-fishing gear, it will give you all the tools you need to begin tying your own flies.
Here, with step-by-step instructions and full-color photographs you can learn:
Before you know it, you'll be tying such flies as the Wooly Bugger, Clouser minnow, beadhead soft hackle nymphs, Adams dry fly, and Hare's Ear nymph. You'll also get solid advice on how to set up a well-organized fly-tying area, so you can enjoy this fascinating craft in ease and comfort.
Fly Tyer magazine editor David Klausmeyer shares his Five Golden Rules for tying better flies. Many books say they are for beginners but then quickly turn fly tying into a series of complicated finger calisthenics. The Orvis Guide to Beginning Fly Tying really is for the reader who has never made a fly. Catch fish with flies that you've tied on your own, and you'll get more enjoyment from the rich sport of fly fishing.
An easy-to-understand, user-friendly approach to tying all of the important, basic flies you need to catch trout. Liberally illustrated with beautiful color photos.
