Synopsis
This book is the definitive work for trout fishermen who tie flies, a step-by-step reference for tying nearly 500 patterns than will take trout everywhere, in all conditions. Tying instructions for the most useful or most used pattern in each style are presented in step-by-step colour photographs and detailed captions and are followed by the pattern's most useful variations. The patterns are divided into two main groups: searching flies, for those times when trout are feeding non-selectively, and imitative flies, for when trout are taking a specific food form and nothing else.

Customer Reviews

A terrific reference for beginning and intermediate flytiers
A wonderful book for the beginner and the intermediate fly tier! This will give you the recipes, pictures to show you the techniques, and most importantly, where and how to fish trout flies. This is filled with great tips on all aspects of fishing and will be a superb basic reference for most trout fishermen and women.

Insightful and through explanation and review of trout flies
Dave Hughes has done a complete crossection of all types of trout flies. The step by step illustrated tying instructions are the most complete I have ever viewed. The color photos emphasize the tying instructions bringing depth to them. Dave shows the balance of presentation and imitation with his fishing techniques. Trout Flies: The Tier's Reference is a must for the beginner to the imtermediate tier/fisherman.
