Description
Book SynopsisA complete guide to selecting, handling, and tying deer hair, with notes on using other hairs as well. Covers patterns for trout, bass, musky, and other species as well as important fishing techniques.
Trade ReviewTim is a natural born educator who has taken his expertise from the classroom to the tying arena; he has been a celebrated demonstration fly tier featured at many of the top fly fishing and fly tying venues. His joy of showing others how to handle deer hair, how to stack various colors on top of each other and deftly contouring the hair into a beautiful piece of art work, has given him the opportunity to share his gift with others through words and photographs. His fly tying world does not evolve around tying Bass Bugs exclusively, but tying all manners and styles of tying, ranging from midges to Pike flies. You will enjoy as I have watching and learning how he approaches his fly tying. I'm please to count Tim as a friend and always look forward to sitting down and tying flies with him; mostly watching this craftsman create magic.--Rick Takahashi
