# One of the world's most accomplished salmon fly tiers, Bob Veverka discusses the history and background of classic Spey, Dee, Don, Eagle and Steelhead Spey patterns, including step-by-step instructions for tying the Lady Caroline, White-Winged Akroyd Dee, and Orange Heron. The special challenges of tying Spey and Spey-style patterns - winding the long body hackles, wrapping the collars, mounting the unique wings, finding substitutes for materials no longer available - are explained and solved. More than 160 patterns are listed. Superbly illustrated with colour photographs by Michael Radencich.
