Oliver Edwards' Flytyers Masterclass

Book by Edwards, Oliver

Flytyers Masterclass describes and illustrates the tying of a series of "essential" patterns. Oliver Edwards has achieved international acclaim not only for his flytying talents but also for his extra ordinary ability to convey his knowledge on paper. Both dry and subsurface patterns are presented in life-size, step-by-step progressive drawings, making them easy to follow. Included are informative histories of where the patterns can be found as well as what materials are necessary to duplicate their appearance. Many new tying techniques are clearly explained and entomological information about each insect is presented without being overly technical. Flytyers Masterclass provides the flyfisherman with a concise overview of the fundamentals required for successful flytying. By learning the art of flytying, the flytyer will enjoy outsmarting even the most elusive trout with a fly created by his own hand. -- Midwest Book Review
