{"product_id":"complete-book-of-fly-tying-9780394400471","title":"Complete Book of Fly Tying","description":"\u003cp\u003eHere at last is a book for fly tiers  beginners and experts alike  that provides foolproof directions for tying all types of flies. In this book even the beginner knows where he is during every step in the process  from the moment he ties in the waxed thread until he ties off the fly with the whip finish knot.  But unlike the specialized books on fly tying that describe particular types or styles of flies  this book covers them all -- all types of both freshwater and saltwater flies. Whether you are talking about dry flies for trout  streamers for tarpon  or hair bugs for bass  you will find them here. Eric Leiser teaches the basic methods for tying all basic flies. Standard dries? Yes. Hair dries? Yes. Parachute dries? Yes. Hackleless flies? Again yes. Wets  nymphs  streamers  Jassids and other terrestrials  bucktails and Muddlers  Spuddlers and Matukas? Yes  everything! This book provides all the basics for the different types and styles of flies  and patterns are given for the most important flies in each category.  The drawings are the work of another master fly tier  Dave Whitlock  who knows the processes himself and supplements Leisers detailed instructions with step-by-step illustrations. In addition  there are clear and useful photographs by Gus Nevros.  In sum  this is truly The Complete Book of Fly Tying. It will clarify the mysteries for the beginner; it will reveal tricks of the trade for the expert who seeks to improve his method or who wants to tie types of flies he has not attempted before. It also covers  of course  the necessary tools and is filled throughout with immensely helpful discussion of materials  and their special uses and characteristic behavior during the process of tying. And there is specific advice on how to master difficult or obstinate materials such as deer hair  which often baffles beginning tiers of the hair-bodied fly. Throughout  Eric Leiser not only describes each step in detail  but shows how to avoid some all-too-common mistakes.  This book is a complete education -- and one that will leave you well prepared to tie any kind of fly for any fish taken on the fly rod.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45648271900725,"sku":"ByrdShop_039440047X","price":31.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780394400471.jpg?v=1781715032","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/complete-book-of-fly-tying-9780394400471","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
