Skip Morris
Skip Morris is among the most prolific fly-fishing and fly-tying authors alive--his name is known to anglers around the world.

Skip has written twelve books, including the established standard beginning fly tier's volume Fly Tying Made Clear and Simple, and The Art of Tying the Bass Fly, Morris & Chan on Fly Fishing Trout Lakes (with lake-fishing guru Brian Chan), Concise Handbook of Fly Tying, and Fly Fisher's Guide to Western River Hatches.

His videos and DVD's range from instruction for tying nymphs, to tying bass flies, to tying and fishing flies for sea-run cutthroat trout.

Skip has published over 200 articles in magazines from Fly Fisherman to American Angler. For three years he was among the hosts of the "Fly-Fish Television Magazine" show.

Skip's newest book releases are "Trout Flies for Rivers: Patterns from the West that Work Everywhere"(Stackpole Books), and "Fly Tying Made Clear and Simple 2: Advanced Techniques" (Amato Publications).

5.0 out of 5 stars One of best books for those starting to tie., May 17, 1996
By A Customer
This review is from: The Art of Tying the Dry Fly (Paperback)
Pictures are great, in color, and almost a blind man(or woman) can see them, read the instructions and understand. Instructions are fairly straight forward, and progression of flies tied or techniques is logical. Is a great instruction manual for those starting out. Companion text on tying nymphs also a worthwhile read. Other books that are very similar are the Kaufmann books

This review is from: The Art of Tying the Dry Fly (Paperback)
I look forward to using this book to help me learn about fly tying. I am in the process of acquiring the equipment needed to tie flies. Should be an interesting endeavor.
