About this title

From the Publisher:

This is the best selling fly-tying book of all time.
First released in 1994, this title comes in two versions: An 8 1/2 x 11" hardcover for $19.95, and the fly-shop favorite, 8 1/2 x 11" hardcover concealed wire-o binding for $23.95 (this allows the book to lay flat so that the tier's hands are free). Cowles Creative Publishing is the only publisher in the world that produces hardcover books, filled with hundreds of beautifully-detailed four color photographs, for such reasonable prices. We are truly creating cadilacs and selling them for chevy prices.

Synopsis:

From trout to salmon and from panfish to bass, catching fish on a fly that you have tied is exciting and rewarding. A classic for every fly-fisherman's library, the easy-to-understand text and hundreds of full-colour, step-by-step photographs in "The Art of Fly Tying" will teach you how to tie flies like an expert. This book will help you choose the right tools, select the right materials, identify aquatic insects and understand the eating habits of your intended catch, and to tie all the basic elements of any fly pattern. The book contains over 200 classic patterns from the original edition as well as 16 new saltwater fly patterns and a new section on saltwater fly tying technique. Offered in a new, easy to use wire-o binding, the new edition also comes with a companion CD-ROM on which the author demonstrates his tying techniques and instructions live.
