Though directed mainly at the beginner, the author's creative approaches to fly tying, refined through years of development & teaching, will be of interest to any fly tyer. Unlike other fly-tying only how to tie it but how best to present it to a fish - and these asides are further enlivened with brief & timely anecdotes from the author's decades of fly fishing.
