Book Description

December 30, 2006
Steelhead flies represent the highest echelon of artistic fly-dressing. They enjoy a rich tradition as both a functionally designed lure for tempting the much-revered steelhead, but also as a creative expression of the aesthetic appeal of fly angling. John Shewey, author of the acclaimed Spey Flies & Dee Flies, has produced another well-written and researched book, rich in technique, method and innovation.

Through concise text and hundreds of sharp, color photographs--including step-by-step and artistic individual fly plates--Shewey covers: materials for steelhead flies; basic tying techniques; hairwing and featherwing flies; Spey and Dee styles; Practitioners, shrimp and prawn patterns; dry flies and much more. This book is a must-have for all steelhead fly-fishermen. Easy lay open spiral hidden in this hard covered book.

--This text refers to the Hardcover-spiral edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shewey has done it again!, June 1, 2010
By 
This review is from: Steelhead Flies (Hardcover)
Once again, John Shewey, Master Spey & Dee Fly tyer, has published an instant Classic.The techniques, instructions, photography, How-to's, etc. are just unbelievable!! No one knows more about the subject than John. If you can't learn how to tie these beautiful works of art from this book, then you will never learn. John's instructions are right on for winging, hackling, tailing, and body work. He is the only person i know of, who gives you several different methods for accomplishing the same thing.

I keep this book handy when I tie as a reference, since at my age I tend to forget things. John's book is my handy little reminder!!!
