Step-by-step instructions for twelve popular and versatile fly patterns....
New Enhanced-Reality graphics in full colour.
A new era in flytying instruction is heralded by this innovative book:
It uses the latest techniques in computer-generated drawing to show the reader
exactly how to create an artificial fly, step-by-step.
Clearer than photography, more lifelike than drawings, the graphic instruction
show, by subtle emphasis and exaggeration, precisely what to do.
Included are all the basic techniques for applying thread, feather and fur
to the hook, and more sophisticated methods such as parachute hacking, using
the dubbing loop hairwinging.
