Tied in the Hand: Odyssey of a salmon fly-tyer By Sven-Olov Hard

Hardback in dust-wrapper. £35.00 De luxe leather-bound edition limited to 35 copies with mounted fly tied by the author. £575.00

"Here we have a book which showcases salmon flies that have been tied in the hand by a dresser with a long experience of doing things that way and who is confident enough to see past the modern trends and dress patterns the way their creators knew them. I am not saying that the last 30 years of classic salmon fly dressing development should be thrown out the window, but I do think that anglers should have a chance to see traditional flies as the Victorians knew them - and if you want that, then this is the book you need...

...from that point on I can only describe this as the most charming technical book I have read in a long while...

...I thoroughly enjoyed Tied in the Hand and if you don’t buy it for yourself, it would make the most fantastic gift." (Dr Andrew Herd, fishingbookreviews.co.uk, click here to read the full review).
