Sportfish

This excellent book is targeted at the raw beginner to fly tying, and as such uses simple, and understandable terminology to describe to a novice just what it takes to make a fishing fly fit to fish at the earliest opportunity.

This book is the definitive work for trout fishermen who tie flies, a step-by-step reference for tying nearly 500 patterns that will take trout everywhere, in all conditions.

Tying instructions for the most useful or most used pattern in each style are presented in step colour photos and detailed captions and are followed by the pattern's most useful variatuions.

The patterns are divided in to two main groups : searching flies, for those times when trout are feeding non-selectively, and imitative flies, when trout are taking a specific food form and nothing else.

A concise guide to tying techniques, tools, and materials is presented in the opening section, along with Dave Hughes's extraordinarily lucid "Unified Theory of Trout Flies".
