ABCs OF FLY TYING
Maurice Beliveau
(96 pages) STK
Price $14.95
SB
With this straightforward manual any beginner can get
started fly tying. Based on the course taught by the Basil W. Woods chapter
of Trout Unlimited (NH), the book covers the 21 basic skills every tier
needs to learn, practice, and perfect: tying on, the whip finish, pinch
tying, abrading, dubbing, working with wings and hackle, and the high tie
method. After the basic techniques, the book moves on to the step-by-step
instructions for tying 18 popular flies. Beliveau simplifies the often
intimidating world of fly tying and gives just the right amount of detail to
enable tiers to fill their flyboxes with the dry flies, wet flies,
streamers, and nymphs they need for all kinds of trout fishing.
