"Based on Keith Fulsher's original 'Tying and Fishing the Thunder Creek Series' published in 1973, Thunder Creek Flies is a completely revised and updated edition of the fly-tying classic, with nearly twice as many patterns and striking photographs by David Klausmeyer to demonstrate the unique Thunder Creek style of tying baitfish imitations. New materials and tying techniques make it easier to create sleeker, better-swimming, and more sparsely-dressed flies that look and act like real baitfish. With detailed information on materials used to construct the twenty-two freshwater flies and six saltwater designs, descriptions of the specific baitfish they imitate, and large glamour shots of each pattern, this book showcases some of the most effective flies an angler can use. Step-by-step instructions to tie the unweighted Blacknose Dace Thunder Creek, weighted Emerald Shiner Thunder Creek, Marabou Shiner Thunder Creek, and silver Shiner Thunder Creek with tail provide all the tools you'll need to tie the entire Thunder Creek series. Included are helpful tips for fishing the Thunder Creek flies throughout the year in all water conditions."
