(hands on being the best way to learn). A great book for folks who have an idea of what fly tying entails, the pictures are great, the " how to set yourself up" informative, but this isn't for true beginners, since the pages are full of great color photos and patterns, but no step by step. I reccommend having it in your library. This author had several helpful hints about tying and setting up and fishing. If you know where everything s/b placed on a hook as you are tying, great, but if you don't it's all just pretty and fun to look at, but not helpful. Buy for the patterns, but get some hands on, video or book training too.
It is very short and has only the basic principles of tying and only basic fly patterns. Don't waste your time or money. This book has very limited detail available.
Contains fish-catching flies. Excellent fly-tying manual for beginners and experienced alike.
The fly pattern section is a great addition, listing many of the basic patterns you need to learn to tie and will fish the most often. Although not as good as Dick Stewart's Universal Fly Tying Guide, this is a good solid starting point for any beginning tyer.
flies are not very sophisticated in the way of arrow
