• Description

A comprehensive, lavishly illustrated guide to tying popular trout flies. This book is aimed at all fly tyers, from those with modest experience to those with more advanced skills. The author’s intention is to focus on certain important elementary techniques, and then share some of his favorite contemporary twists on old, tried-and-true techniques. Many of the flies in this book are based in his own techniques and patterns, ones that he has developed in more than thirty-five years of tying. The book is arranged in sections to give readers the opportunity to easily locate the pattern or technique they are looking for. Patterns are not grouped alphabetically, but by technique. For example, the section on dry flies has categories demonstrating a particular dry fly style or technique such as mastering the use of deer hair, parachute, CDC, and so on. If you are fairly new to fly tying, the opening chapters on materials and special techniques and tricks will familiarize you with some basics and help you get started. Seasoned tyers will similarly find information here to help them raise their tying skills to a new level. Each pattern is listed with a recipe, recommended hook style, size, and materials. They are listed in the order that that author uses them, and illustrated by the book’s step-by-step images. This will help you plan each pattern and assemble materials your beforehand. Included are lushly illustrated photos for such well-known trout flies as:

Detailed instructions and awesome photography

Being a. avid fly Tyers for over 20 years.....I purchased the book because I have been watching Barry's videos for some time now. This new book is an excellent reference for newbies or advanced fly tying! As a professional photographer this book was done with the proper lighting and backdrop, the graduated green background is a pleasure to look at to compliment all his patterns. KUDOS form one pro to another! Gongrat's again on a well done book, also enjoyed the input from Marc Petitjean, his master vice is pictured throughout this book, I enjoy my MP Vice, also enjoy using the MP tools, expensive but well made. Just purchase the book!

What beautiful flies! What a beautiful book!

I got hooked by watching the YouTube videos and bought the referenced book. What a surprise to see how beautifully rendered and produced this book was, then the benefit of seeing the entire recipe and step by step instructions taken from the videos. Great tying experience during my COVID break, now to get out and try my efforts to replicate his examples. Wonderful for beginners and advanced fly tiers.

Excellent

This book is great. The descriptions of each fly are informative. The links to the extremely high quality videos showing and explaining the tying process are very helpful and the step by step photos are very good for at the bench tying them yourself

Incredible detail and photography

Mr. Clarke provides excellent photographs and detailed instructions on tying over two dozen carefully selected flies that, taken together, demonstrate a very wide variety of tying materials and techniques. The order in which the fly patterns are presented enables the reader to build upon skills as the book progresses. Additionally, readers can actually see the flies being tied by following the links Mr. Clarke has provided to his youtube videos for each pattern.

Good fly fishing book (fly-tying)

Good book covers all the basics and more! Everyone should read/review just to keep up with the past and future of fly tying.

Beautiful book

Looking through this book is not only informative but the photography is a feast for the eyes as well. Beautiful photos, clear instructions with lots of photos, interesting information on each fly and the authors life plus codes to scan that will take you directly to YouTube videos showing you exactly how to tie each fly. I just started tying flies a couple of months ago and was afraid these would be something beyond my experience but each fly I've tried so far has turned out beautifully. What a boost to a new fly tiers ego! Highly recommend this book for any fly tier - beginner to expert! PS - be sure to watch the video that gives a tour of his fly tying room - now there's something to aim for. LOVE THIS BOOK!!!
