Review

"Tiers searching for a broad-based instructional text. . . won't be disappointed."--Fly Fisherman


Product Description

Dick Talleur, a master of the fully dressed salmon fly, transforms the complexity of tying traditionally dressed salmon flies into a practical way of tying appealing and usable flies. Talleur not only reviews the basics of equipment and hooks, but discusses substitutions for materials that are no longer available, which actually improve appearance and performance. Full-color step-by-step instructions, with plenty of detailed close-up photos of tying sequences, will help tyers understand the process of converting traditionals to hair-wings, while learning to tie many different flies, from the Black Bear to the Undertaker, the Hairwing Durham Ranger to Dick's Conglomerate. This gift book is a must for any aspiring or advanced salmon fly tyer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty & Practical Saloon Flies, September 26, 2007
Another great book by Dick Talleur one of my favorit fly tiers.
Flies in this book are made to be fished and not for the wall as it should be. Good advise for the construction of all the major types of salmon flies. From the clasic hair or married feather wings to the scandinavian schools of fly tying.
