Summary

For the fly fisher, creating images of a living insect from fur, feathers, or synthetic materials is an art and a passion requiring "imagination and skill, creativity and discipline, patience and vision," according to renowned fly tyer and author Steve Raymond. The fly patterns in Blue Upright are among those that have served Raymond most faithfully over the years, the favourite flies of a long angling life.

Author Biography

Steve Raymond is author of Rivers of the Heart, Steelhead Country (both published by Lyons Press), The Year of the Angler, The Year of the Trout and other fly-fishing books. A winner of the Roderick Haig-Brown Award for significant contributions to angling literature, Raymond also has been editor of two magazines, The Flyfisher and Fly Fishing in Salt Waters, and a long-time reviewer of fly-fishing books for several publications. He retired after a thirty-year career as an editor and manager at the Seattle Times and now lives on Whidbey Island in Puget Sound.
