This review is from: Hairwing & Tube Flies for Salmon & Steelhead: A Comprehensive Guide for Anglers & Flytyers (Hardcover)
This book has great graphics of these flies and interesting description of their development ,etc. Hair wing salmon flies have become more popular as the exotic feathers for traditional salmon flies have become more difficult to obtain and more laborious to tie. I loose so many flies that spending hours on the bench for one fly isn't worth it. Hair wing flies are faster to tie and provide more action in the water. There are other books for traditional feather winged salmon flies that are works of art. Chris Mann has several books that cover feather wings too. Hair winged flies make great steelhead flies as well.
