Harry Steeves is one of the best of the modern innovators in fly tying, and this collection of his best patterns, largely terrestrials, and all involving foam in one way or another, is even better than his first book, because the instructions are much clearer. His firefly is one of my favorite patterns. Now, if it were just easier to buy the Kreinek braids he recommends...

a great informative book a must have in your collection i hightly recommend this book

Simplemente eso es este libro ... innovación. Si necesitan un libro para aprender a atar, esto es no la mejor opción. Si desean un libro que abra la puerta en forma clara, concisa y novedosa, recomiendo 110% que adquieran este título. Lo brillante es todo aquello relativo a foam y su mezcla con materiales tradicionales. Gran libro de Steeves.
