Flies for Trout

The companion to Flies for Saltwater - and a superb reference for anyone who ties and fishes for trout. Rather than taking the reader through basic fly-tying techniques step by step, this book does something extremely useful: it presents a beautifully illustrated catalogue of proven trout flies, giving the tyer a wealth of patterns to choose from and the information needed to recreate them at the vise. The book features hundreds of dry flies, nymphs, streamers, terrestrials and other trout imitations, each accompanied by a tying recipe, materials list and notes on its origins, what it imitates and the conditions in which it is most effective. The extensive range of patterns allows the angler to compare flies and select appropriate imitations for different trout waters, seasons and fishing situations, while experienced fly-tyers will appreciate having so many established patterns gathered together in a single, easy-to-use reference. With its excellent full-colour photographs, this is as much a pleasure to browse as it is a practical tying reference. For the fly-tyer, it is a pattern library. For the trout angler, it is a source of ideas. And for anyone who loves flies, it is simply a lovely book to have on the tying bench. Very good condition. Softcover, 28cm x 22cm, 128 pages.
