Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

For millions of anglers, tying flies is the next best thing to fishing. Fortunately, new tools and materials are being added to the fly-tyer's arsenal every year, so there has been an increasing need for a down-to-earth, practical, and well-illustrated book on what's still useful, and what's new and useful. What are the attributes and uses of each material? How does it compare to similar materials? Will the fish like it? Dick Talleur - long known for his outspoken, practical approach to fly fishing - answers these questions.There are chapters on all the basics: tools, vises, lead wires, hooks, dubbing, threads, hackle, eyes, furs, and hundreds of other items. Talleur also evaluates many novel and interesting gadgets and materials, and, as always encourages the tyer to innovate, innovate, innovate.Modern Fly-Tying Materials is a must for all serious fly tyers. (83/4 X 111/4, 260 pages, color photos, b&w photos)
