Each of the 12 patterns is linked by QR code to a YouTube video showing the author tying the fly in question." "The techniques you will learn in this book are the building blocks on which all successful fishing flies, even the most complex ones, are based. Follow my recommendations for tools and materials, pay special attention to fly proportions and first watch the videos of me demonstrating the relevant techniques before you start to tie each fly. Then with a little patience and a good deal of practise, you will soon be tying beautiful flies."
