  • GREAT and interesting fly tying technique text no matter how long you've been tying!

    Great instruction and pictures accompany sensible use of materials and tools. Step-by-step tying techniques of the different categories of flies was easy-to-follow and progressive. Already, I've read every page twice thus far. I have many fly tying journals and books and 'this book ranks in the TOP 5'!
