Summary

Learn a master's pragmatic, efficient approach to tying flies. Includes 34 fly patterns, including the Grizzly Hackle, the White Wulff, and the Pale Morning Dun Nymph. With this fly-tying instructional book, you will learn techniques that will increase your tying speed and the quality of your finished flies. Not only will you learn to tie some of Royce Dam's favourite flies by following the step-by-step photographs and instructions that give detailed and thorough explanations, but also you will soon find yourself applying the skills you acquire to all of your fly tying. Short introductions on the flies and fish stories provide entertaining interludes between the fly-tying recipes and technical explanations.
