About this title

Synopsis

A must read for any fly tier who wants to get it right. Clear and concise, with a lot of knowledge crammed in.

Synopsis

"The Flytiers Companion" is the sequel to follow "The Flytier's Manual" by the same author, which won the United Fly Tyers Inc "Book Of The Year" award. Mike Dawes is the proprietor of Graham Trout Flies of Herefordshire, one of the largest distrubutors of flies in Britain, and is an authority on fly-tying. He has created this book which contains 180 new fly patterns, both classic and modern, each described in detail, with listed materials and illustrated how-to instructions. The author has photographed all the patterns shown in the book, and these are complemented by Taff Price's step-by-step drawings. The combined knowledge of these two experts, based on years of practical experience, makes this book a useful addition to fly-tying literature. A special selection of popular and effective steelhead flies is included, making this a useful reference book for the fly fisherman.
