A GUIDE TO NORTH COUNTRY FLIES AND HOW TO TIE THEM: 140 CLASSIC FLIES WITH STEP-BY-STEP PHOTOGRAPHS. By Mike Harding.

2009 1st edition. 8vo spiral-bound hardback (165 x 201mm). Pp192. Colour photographs of flies throughout, illustrations, bibliography. Pictorial laminated boards.

Step-by-step colour photographs showing techniques and a larger than life-size photograph of each pattern. The book opens with sections on the North Country Tradition; the tools, materials and basic techniques. The bulk of the book then follows with one full page dedicated to each pattern described, split into the following sections - classic spiders; slim-bodied nymph spiders; north country winged flies; bumbles, bustards and beads, finishing with some information on spider fishing techniques and suppliers of fly-tying materials. Produced in the same format as the popular "Flytying Bible" and "Fly-Tying for Beginners." A good work on the subject, now out-of-print and difficult to find.
