A few weeks ago there was a tread about books for beginners so I thought I would post this.
Yesterday I received a book that I found was very well laid out.
There are 30 patterns and each is on a page with the recipe, tying instructions, fishing instructions and what the fly imitates. There are no photographs but the drawings are very good. In the front of the book, there is a page on tying tools. Each tool is written up as to what they are used for. There is a couple of pages on Type of flies, then a page on the parts of flies, hook specs, fly proportions along with common mistakes. There is also a chapter on food sources and casting. For a 76 page spiral bound book, it covers a whole lot.
The instructions are written up very clear. I am very impressed with this book.
The book is written up by list member George Shepherd, the book name is Kootenay Fly tying.
No financial interest but very impressed with the book
Tony
