Avid sport fishermen and novices alike will not want to be without this book on their shelves. Tying one's own flies to tempt a hungry fish can be as enjoyable as piercing a fish's lip and landing it. A highly prized craft, these fly patterns will surely also bring out the artist inside. The book is unique among fly tying pattern books because it showcases only weighted patterns. With more than 1700 fly patterns to choose from and replicate there are plenty of options. The patterns are suited to all types of fish species but their commonality is more so in the way that one would fish with them. The patterns range from simple to complex. The assembled fly tying 'recipes' feature full color photos of the finished flies. The author is an avid fly fisherman and fly-tier and has used many of these very patterns to land fish in cool freshwater rivers and warm saltwater bays.
