Excellent, clear, computer-generated colour illustrations of flies and the step-by-step processes involved in tying them. The authors include "all the basic techniques for applying thread, feather and fur to the hook, building up to more sophisticated methods such as parachute hackling, using the dubbing loop and hairwinging." Twelve essential trout patterns are used as case studies which between them demonstrate the most important fly-tying techniques. An excellent book which has sold more than 20,000 copies to date.
