A practical handbook & guidebook. Each practical teaching chapter is followed up with a biographical story. Studies & relates how the fish interact with each portion of the stream, both in the water & out. Includes favorite patterns.
'Tom Zacoi is deeply immersed in the art & sport of fly fishing. And, to quote Lefty Kreh, in the introduction to this book, "Tom is a marvelous storyteller."
Flies, Ties, & Lies is a book like no other. It is a practical handbook on one hand, biographical on the other & a guidebook on the third ('!) hand. Each practical teaching chapter is followed up with a biographical story. For instance, Chapter One "Fly Casting" is followed up by "God Bless You, Uncle Gino", a thank you to the man who started Tom on fishing.
Perhaps the most instructional section is Chapter Two - Reading the Water. This is an awesome study of water movement & trout vision. I realize now, after reading this chapter, how naive & careless I have been my whole fishing career. How many fish must I have spooked off over the years' The stream & its immediate surrounding are carefully disected, horizontally & vertically. The author studies & relates how the fish interact with each portion of the stream, both in the water & out.
Flies, Ties & Lies includes a chapter on the favorite patterns of the late Chauncy Lively. Chauncy was a master fly tier whose work influenced a generation of fly tiers. The book is beautifully illustrated throughout with the work of angling artist Jeff Wynn of Hopewell Township, Pennsylvania.
WHAT THE EXPERTS ARE SAYING:
