Samenvatting:

A master of the fully dressed salmon fly transforms the complexity of tying traditionally dressed flies into a practical way of tying appealing and usable flies.

52 fly patterns, with photos; 42 step-by-step tying sequences - all this, and much, much more is in this book by Dick Talleur, whose masterly instruction takes the reader through the enjoyable process of learning about the techniques and materials that will result in Atlantic-salmon flies that pair grace with purpose. Full-dress classics that usually never touch water aren't covered; instead, the author focuses on teaching the reduced married-wing patterns that will enable the aspiring full-dress tier to proceed to that level, if so desired. Everything both the beginning and experienced tier needs to achieve competence is here: crisp and detailed tying steps accompanied by instructive color photographs. You'll have fun learning to properly dress these pretty and practical salmon flies...and as a benefit, your trout-fly tying will improve as well.
