By Darrel Martin

An artificial fly may be little more than a bit of fur or feather, bead, tinsel, and thread wrapped around the shank of a fishing hook, but for many fly fishers, there is no better way to pass the time between fishing excursions than crafting one of these miniature gems. In The Fly Fisher's Craft, veteran fly tyer and designer Darrel Martin examines fly design and tying techniques, both historic and modern. Abundant photographs and illustrations by the author guide you on this enthralling journey, told with some surprises along the way. Sure to appeal to both the novice and the expert, The Fly Fisher's Craft is a book for the curious and creative fly fisher. This description may be from another edition of this product.

Delightful and enlightening

By Thriftbooks.com User, September 25, 2006

I learned fly fishing and fly tying using my grandfather's books and gear back in the '70s, so I was already a little behind the times at the very point I started, but I've always enjoyed the sense of connection to past traditions that was inherent then. Somewhere along the way, I fell out of fly fishing for a decade or two, and when I returned, nothing was familiar anymore. Graphite rods, fluorocarbon leaders, tying materials...
