Two of fly-fishing’s most well respected writers collaborate once again, this time discussing emergers. Emergence is itself a behavior, and it puts the tier in a challenging and rather unusual position¾not that of imitating a fixed and recognizable form of the insect, but rather of representing a process. This book shows you how, including: emerger design and materials, basic tying techniques, many specialized tying techniques, fly patterns, and more. When you invest in a book by these two authors you know what you will get¾up-to-the-minute information, well-written text, and superb photography, Tying Emergers will not let you down.

Great reference for all skill levels,

This review is from: Tying Emergers: A Complete Guide (Paperback)
This is truly a well made and comprehensive bench side reference for the ambitious fly tier. The first chapter covers in detail different tying techniques that are used for the patterns that follow. The individual patterns themselves are documented in detail with step by step fotos. Therefore, even the novice will be able to tie all patterns that are in this book.
For the pro the book offers a lot of interesting variations on the topic of tying emergers. I can't wait to get my new patterns on the water.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Catchy title,
By Doh (Pickering, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tying Emergers: A Complete Guide (Paperback)
Emergers are great because they are easy to tie; fish like dry flies; catch fish like subsurface flies; take advantage of all the glitzy new materials; and are cheap to tie.
The Dynamic Duo have another wonderfully well produced fly tyer's pattern book here. The fly selection is broad and tips it's hat at some big names, while covering a lot of great patterns. This is not a how to fish emergers or a field guides. It's about the flies, and will mostly interest tyers. My only complaint as with other books by the dynamic duo is that whoever ties the flies is not a particularly talented tyer. Cross-reference flies tied by, say, Best or Stalcup with the same patterns here, and the ones in Emergers look like badly rolled cigarettes. This is too bad because it leaves a lot of beauty out of the book that should have been here. Some of the patterns covered here look quite alike, but that would not be so if the authors had tied them properly. Also, many new tyer may push through this book tying new pattern in order to build their skills, and will learn many careless habits from these badly tied flies. It does not take a particularly talented tyer to accurately copy the style of a master, and more care should have been taken in providing the flies tied here. In some cases the versions shown here may not be as effective as the originals, or they may work just as well. But the book does not work quite as well without well tied flies. The strength of the overall book still deserves 5 stars.
