An Introduction to Fly Tying

This book was written by two men who run the West Wales School of Fly Fishing, and was created with the needs of the newcomer to fly tying especially in mind. It introduces the reader to basic techniques, what patterns he or she should tie, and how to fish with them. Colour photgraphs illustrate the steps required, emphasising tips and short cuts, constantly reaffirming that the beginner needs only a limited range of materials to tie most patterns. Other work by Pat O'Reilly includes "Tactical Flyfishing", "River Trout Fishing" and "Fly Tying".
