A classic is back…updated! For 30 years, this seminal work has been the best-selling introduction to the sport. While this newly revised third edition includes invaluable updates in tying materials, methods, and patterns, the fundamental reason for its long-term success remains intact: there’s simply no better presentation of the basics. It’s packed with insider tips for every style and tying method, along with dozens of ties shown in full-color drawings—which are actually better than photos for clarifying the details. Chapter by chapter, the guide covers tools; materials; insects and their life cycles; streamers, terrestrials, and attractors; fly-tying classes and kits; and much more. No fisherman should “fly” without it!
A classic reissued with new and updated information, and, for the first time, full-color photos! Co-author Paul N. Fling states confidently that when newcomers experience the joys of flyfishing, they’ll "rush headlong” to learn everything about the sport. When they do, there’s no better place to go for information than this primer. Fling and photographer Donald L. Puterbaugh know how to convey their knowledge to beginners, and cover every flyfishing basic: the study of insects that trout feed on, fly-casting, fly-tying, an analysis of fresh water habitats, fishing techniques, and flyfishing history and lore. This perennial guide now includes an expanded discussion of equipment and materials, as well as stunning hand-colored illustrations and photos that make the book a pleasure to look through...and learn from.
