Fly Fishing Instructions
Can you recommend a good book on tying flies?
I was tying flies for a short time and I a good reference on fly tying. I do not need a beginner's book and do not necessarily want the new book or that of most employers. What I want is a solid reference written by well known and well-known high which includes a large number of "classic" patterns with basic instructions for gluing or material, and then maybe some bit of history and / or instructions for each fly fishing. I think Ted Leeson "Benchside reference, but I looked through it seems to be only technical – no instructions model current. Old books are fine, provided there is some form of photographs or illustrations. Thank you!
Orvis rate patterns are difficult to overcome. And you're right it Benchside reference to technical reasons. I consider it a "must have" but one I recommend to add after having mastered some basic models and basic techniques. Dave Hughes "Essential Trout Flies" is also excellent. And if you're willing to spend a few dollars more, the "Trout Flies" is all it takes BIG Hughes. Book, and about $ 50, but billed excellent: information. No, I'm not Dave) and there are plenty of books out there that are just as good (maybe better). I was tied for 30 years and is the book most often use the model index Orvis (several volumes, which can be difficult to find, but usually appear on eBay fairly often). Books available, both are hard to beat Hughes if trout is your goal. For an online reference and research section http://www.flyanglersonline.com/ Tied lessons by Al Campbell (a great fisherman, excellent, and the man even better). This small series is excellent, and there are plenty of models and with good to excellent and the technical instructions for fishing once connected. When Campbell was a true fly fisherman who shared everything they knew someone he asked. Taught (literally) hundreds of thousands of fly tying, and think of him each time to tie a fly on a leader. His series is worth seeing, no matter how long you've been linked.
