More Detail |
This strikingly illustrated book is truly uniqueâ?? — the only fly-tying guide that shows fishing flies in action. First, a series of photos demonstrate how to tie each fly. Second, a close-up photo shows precisely how each fly appears and behaves as it rides on, or just below, the waterâ??s surface. Author and noted sport fisherman Charles Jardine shows how to make 50 elite flies that are well-known among outdoorsmen for their effectiveness in attracting trout and other game fish. Complete, detailed fly-tying instructions accompany the step-by-step illustrations, and an at-a-glance fact box designates each flyâ??s degree of construction difficulty on a 1-to-10 scale. The fact box also specifies the type of fish the fly is best suited to attract, and the materials needed for its construction. The unique close-up photos of flies as each appears in the water come with the authorâ??s brief, informative comments on how each fly behaves when it is cast into the stream or lake. Dedicated sport fishermen will want this book for their home bookshelf, where theyâ??ll refer to it time and time again. Hundreds of color photos and illustrations. About the AuthorCHARLES JARDINE is an internationally recognized fly fisherman who was recently honored by the U.S. Federation of Fly Fishers with its prestigious Ambassador Award. He is the author of several other books on fly tying and sport fishing.
