Simple, straightforward, no nonsense. Comes well-recommended. "The best fly-tying primer I've seen in a long time - clear and detailed, well organised, and practical." Art Scheck."Basic Fly Tying is the book I wish I'd had when I started fly tying. It took me ten years to figure out what you can learn from this book in about a month." Ed Engle."Two great things come out of this fine book: learning to tie the flies listed will teach you to tie most any other trout fly, and when you've tied the listed flies, you'll have a tidy selection that will arm you to go out and catch trout ... It offers step-by-step instructions that are easy to understand, that you can actually follow." Dave Hughes.This is the first step in a fly-tying course which is developed in Marvin Nolte's subsequent "Beyond Basic Fly Tying" (Coch-y-Bonddu stock no. 20342).
