100 Deadly Trout and Salmon Flies in Step-by-Step Photographs.

With a double-page spread devoted to each pattern, featuring step-by-step instructions in full colour, and ring bound so that it will lie flat on the bench or table top beside the fly-tying vice, this is a reference book for anglers who wish to tie their own versions of the most successful patterns in current use. The book starts with an introduction to fly-tying basics, material, equipment and techniques. The flies themselves are divided into five categories, Dry Flies, Nymphs and Bugs, Wet Flies, Streamers and Hairwings and covers patterns that have a proven record of success in catching rainbow and brown trout, sea trout, salmon and grayling in rivers and lakes throughout the world. On each spread there is a key indicating which species the fly is designed to attract, a brief description of when and how it should be used, a full-colour photograph of the finished fly indicating the materials used for body, rib, hackle, and so on, the range of hook sizes for which the pattern is suitable and, on the facing page, step-by-step instructions for tying.
The book's hidden spiral binding keeps its pages opened flat, which makes it ideal for reference at the workbench. More than 600 color photos.

  Like the binding

  The first thing that sets this book aoart from others on the shelf is its binding - 15 rings. Hence it stays open easily.
  However, this book attempts to be a bible, a tanakh and book on yoga all at the same time.
  We visit the world of flies for steelhead, Pacific. Atlantic and chinook salmon. Dry flies, traditional wet flies, reservoir flies.
  The photography is good, but it's all been done before and in more detail.
  An acceptable introduction to the world of fly tying.
