Elegant and graceful, Spey flies originated on the River Spey in northeastern Scotland and are well over 150 years old. Author Bob Veverka gives the history and background on classic Spey, Dee, Don, Eagle, and Steelhead Spey patterns, including step-by-step tying instructions in Spey Flies: How to Tie Them. Exquisite colour plates and patterns for 167 ties; 100 colour photographs by Michael Radencich and advice for choosing the best hooks, thread, materials and feathers ensured this book became a classic on the subject.
