How To Tie!! Beginning Fly Tying

by Gretchen Beatty

Mastering the instructions in this book will take an aspiring fly tier from total novice to advanced amateur in just a few short pages. The early chapters provide the reader with a solid understanding of the tools, techniques, and materials to construct seven foundation fly patterns. What is a foundation pattern? It is a fly that not only teaches an important fly-tying skill but also provides a basis from which to build an exciting fly box of patterns attractive to the angler and the fish alike. For example: The Hare's Ear Nymph is a pattern that with a little adaptation and ingenuity will satisfy 80 percent of any fly fishers nymph fishing needs. All the tier needs to do is change colors and materials to fit a wide variety of fishing situations. The seven foundation patterns include the Woolly Worm, Gray Hackle Yellow, Montana Nymph, Hare's Ear Nymph, Post Wing Mayfly, Elk Hair Caddis, and the Marabou Streamer. The skills learned on each fly are used again on the next along with a new technique. Building skills upon skills is the backbone of this book AND for a successful fly tying career. The Beatty's have more than 100 years of fly tying experience and thousands of skilled students to their credit. Why not join the group and learn to tie flies the easy way? The Beatty way
