Customer Reviews

Good Beginners Book!

I have several books in this series called "The Complete Fly Fisherman." Most of the books, including this one have been very useful to me. I have been fly fishing for about 2+ years. This book was one of 3 books that I used when I began fly tying. The pictures are clear and instructive (unlike some other books). I often refer to the pattern catalogs when I am trying flies. Only thing I could wish for is for it to be spiral bound so I could open it up when I am tying. Otherwise its a great book. I enjoy this "series" because they have lots of excellent color photos as well as useful information.

A Fly-Tying Must

'Fly-Tying Techniques and Patterns' is a wonderful book for beginners; its progression through concepts, tools, materials, basics, and fly patterns is perfect for a first timer. I found the step-by-step color photographs extremely usful and easy to follow, and I love the tips for beginners! All in all, I found 'Fly-Tying Techniques and Patterns (The Complete Fly Fisherman)' well worth my time and money!

A Teachers Review.

This book has only come to my attention in the past week or so and as a Trout Fly Tying Instructor at our local Evening college it has proven a great hit amonst my Students. Some of the comments passed are, "Life cycle section" is clear consise and as comprehensive as a book of this size can be. "Materials and Tools" this section is clean clear and precise in its coverage of the subject and its photography. "The steps to tying and the tying sections" are also of a high standard or presentation with the unusual use of a dark background to highlight the subect. Followed by the individual sections for Nymphs Wets and Drys etc The layout of this Publication has obviously had a lot of thought and effort put into it and its Authors shuld be congratulated on a job welldone
