This book sets out to cater for the increasing number of trout anglers who seek the added pleasure of catching fish on flies they have tied themselves. Some 150 different patterns are listed, all of which have been designed by knowledgeable anglers and together provide a reliable selection of interest to those who fish river,s lakes and dams. Once learnt, the principles outlined in the book will enable the reader to extend his range of fly-tying and produce fish-taking patterns from the simplest description, or even to match-the-hatch on his local waters. For each fly, the materials needed are specified in the order in which they will be used and simple instructions, supplemented by clear numbered drawings, enable the reader to proceed stage by stage - a method which experience has shown to be the next best to personal instruction. While intended primarily as a guide and reference for the beginner, the book should also prove interesting to the more experienced fly-tyer. Hardcover, 112 pages, 22cm x 15cm.
