This review is from: Fly-Tying Techniques & Patterns (The Complete Fly Fisherman) (Hardcover)

This book has only come to my attention in the past week or so and as a Trout Fly Tying Instructor at our local Evening college it has proven a great hit amonst my Students. Some of the comments passed are, "Life cycle section" is clear consise and as comprehensive as a book of this size can be. "Materials and Tools" this section is clean clear and precise in its coverage of the subject and its photography. "The steps to tying and the tying sections" are also of a high standard or presentation with the unusual use of a dark background to highlight the subect. Followed by the individual sections for Nymphs Wets and Drys etc The layout of this Publication has obviously had a lot of thought and effort put into it and its Authors shuld be congratulated on a job welldone
