Items related to Contemporary Fly Patterns of British Columbia
British Columbia is a land rich in fly-fishing opportunities, from the troul in its famed lakes on the Interior plateau, to the wild and large free-rising summer-run steelhead of the Dean and Skeena river systems to the Pacific salmon that roam the coastal waters and many rivers. Even before British Columbia became a Canadian province in 1871, for nearly 150 years, fly-fishers have sought out its game fish.
Because of its diversity of fly-fishing opportunities, British Columbia has become a land rich in fly-tying talent as is evident by the 60 or so fly tiers who have contributed flies to Contemporary Fly Patterns of British Columbia. Besides a detailed list of components, full-frame photographs illustrate each fly and narratives follow each fly's recipe. Some narratives are concise While others relate the contributor's thoughts on the fly's development and often include hints about why the fly is an excellent fish-catcher, or maybe how to fish the fly effectively.
Whether you are a novice or expert Interior fly-fisher for trout, summer-and winter-run steelhead. sea-run or Westslope cutthroat, or salmon, this book has something for you. Wet and dry flies for trout or steelhead. bucktail or other smaller baitfish imitations, you will find them all in this book. As you read through these colourful pages, you will find hints on tying and fishing the fly properly. However, the best part is attaching a new fly to your line and experiencing the thrill as you cast it into the water and feel or see the take, set the hook, then... fish on!
