Synopsis
Building on "Tying the Classic Salmon Fly", which demonstrates techniques for tying even the most complicated fully dressed salmon flies, "Classic Salmon Fly Materials" provides an in-depth look at all the possible ingredients and methods for tying these flies. Starting with the first elements, hook and thread, Radencich gives guidance on working with peacock or ostrich herl and adding body hackles, throat hackles and collars. He explains which feathers are best suited to each type of hackle and how to fold and tie a throat hackle. Radencich gives complete instructions for tying the Carnegie, with expert advice on choosing the proper materials and methods.
Customer Reviews
the best book on classic salmon flies
Having been a professional fly tier for more than 15 years, I have never found a book on the classic fly that gave all the basics until now! Radencich has out done everyone else and even for a professional he offers a huge number of hints and tips, having read his first book Tying the Classic Salmon Fly I did not think he could better it, how wrong was I? - the photography is superb and the instructions are exceptionally clear - fly tyers all over the world have been waiting for this book for decades. It is only a pity that he has not added a chapter on how to photograph the finished fly! Still that could well be a subject for the the next book!
