The ultimate beginner's guide to fly tying. Using step-by-step color photos and concise text, this book illustrates every phase of the tying process, from clamping the hook in the vise to executing the final whip finish, and everything in between.

Individual fly-tying chapters present step-by-step sequences with uncommon clarity and detail, showing how to tie seven popular patterns, including the most effective nymphs, dry flies, and streamers. The patterns and skills learned here are sure to last a lifetime.

It took me ten years to figure out what you can learn from this book in about a month." Ed Engle."Two great things come out of this fine book: learning to tie the flies listed will teach you to tie most any other trout fly, and when you've tied the listed flies, you'll have a tidy selection that will arm you to go out and catch trout . It offers step-by-step instructions that are easy to understand, that you can actually follow."
