Dick Talleur is a well-known fly tier and author of several books, including Guide to Fly Tying (0-8117-0987-6), Basic Fly Tying (1-58574-213-9), and Modern Fly-Tying Materials (1-55821-344-9).
For those who don't know it, tying flies is not only a practical hobby for the avid fisherman but also an art form--to say nothing of the emotionally soothing properties of spending time practicing it. Well-tied flies are a thing of beauty to behold. Talleur, a veteran writer on the subject, invites newbies and experienced tiers alike to benefit from his up-to-date information and thinking. His latest guide stems from the availability of newer materials and new graphics technology (the latter making the illustrations clearer in detail), as well as some new designs he recently came up with. He begins with 13 basic fly-tying tips, and then each subsequent chapter covers a different project, each of these chapters beginning with a list of what tasks, techniques, or strategies will be learned in that chapter's pages. If you have no fly-tying handbook in your collection, here is one to include. Brad Hooper
