Table Of ContentThis important book is narrowly focused on one of the key aspects of the fly-tyer's art: color control. It is the first book wholly devoted to the subject - and it is a definitive, practical handbook by one of America's finest and most respected professional fly tyers. A. K. Best explores the equipment and supplies needed for accurate and safe dyeing and bleaching - most of them commonly available. Then he progresses with chapters on such subjects as "Body Feathers," "Bucktails," "Deer and Elk Hair," "Calf and Squirrel Tails," "Furs," "Bleaching," "Dye Recipes," "Color Removal," "Stripping Quills," and "Fur Blending." This is an indispensable book for all fly tyers who want more precise colors - and color is critical! - for their fly patterns. (7 1/4 X 9 1/2, 136 pages, color photos, b&w photos)

  • Only if you are interested in Fly Tying

    While this book is well written it is a bit repeatish. I expected it to be a little more informative but I never really learnt anything I didn't know already or do. It is only recommend if you have never dyed feathers, fur , hair before if so in this case it will be excellent. The price was abit over the top once it was converted to NZD and freight was also expensive. All honestly from 1994 to know liquids that were used in this book are probably outdated or unable to be obtain in other parts of the world.
