Building on Tying the Classic Salmon Fly, which demonstrates techniques for tying even the most complicated fully dressed salmon flies, Classic Salmon Fly Materials provides an in-depth look at all the possibile ingredients and methods for tying these flies. Starting with the first elements, hook and thread, Radencich gives guidance on working with peacock or ostrich herl and adding body hackles, throat hackles, and collars. He explains which feathers are best suited to each type of hackle and how to fold a hackle and tie in a throat hackle. He then moves on to the most distinguishing element of a fully dressed classic salmon fly, the wings. A discussion of underwings and married and full-feather wings follows, with details on the advantages and disadvantages of each kind of feather. Radencich pulls it all together by giving complete instructions for tying the Carnegie, with expert advice on choosing the proper materials and methods.

This review is from: Classic Salmon Fly Materials: The Reference to All Materials Used in Constructing Classic Salmon Flies from Start to Finish (Hardcover)
A very well written book. Excellent color photography. Beautiful drawings of flies previously only available in black & white and in very expensive first edition rare books. excellent reference to materials and techniques used to tye rare antique salmon flies. This book is destined to become a must have standard reference work on the subject.

Classic Salmon Fly Materials: The Reference?,
This review is from: Classic Salmon Fly Materials: The Reference to All Materials Used in Constructing Classic Salmon Flies from Start to Finish (Hardcover)
While it is well organized and contains beautiful materials, this book, in my opinion, falls short of its title. When I purchased the book I expected it to be a visual, historical, and an encyclopedic "reference to all materials used in constructing classic salmon flies," covering natural materials, imitation and substitue materials as well as flossing technique and other methods that are not well disucssed in other books. I expected this work to break from the tradition of guarded methods and tricks that have not otherwise been published. This book simply follows the pattern of preceding classic salmon fly how-to books, but features much better picture quality. I think this book lacks the content that it's title suggest's it contains.However, Radencich's first book, Tying the Classic Salmon Fly, is a fine example of a high quality reference book on tying classics including: feather preparation, floss work, ribbing and such through beautifully photographed pattern step-by-steps. It also included things such as classic fly patterns, custom hook making, matting & framing flies, and dying materials.
