Talleur's programmed instructions accompanied by hundreds of illustrations guarantees the tier not just a few new patterns, but a real understanding of fly-tying procedures.
Mastering The Art of Fly-tying is not a beginner's book, but beginner's will be able to use it almost immediately to learn essential techniques such as winding hackle. And it is not just a collection of fly patterns that may - or may not - be right for local waters. Instead Talleur offers skills that make it possible to tie successful patterns for any part of the country.
Advanced tiers can rely on it as a trouble-shooting guide that will earn its place on the book shelf closest to the tying bench. Here are refinements of many traditional techniques, and alternatives to tedious procedures and hard-to-handle materials. Here also are refreshing solutions to common problems like winging and choosing hackle that will save the beginner and the intermediate tier hours of frustration and valuable materials
Mastering The Art of Fly-tying reflects Dick Talleur's basic message that fly-tying is a dynamic angling art. The step-by-step photo sequences by Matt Vinciguerra and line art by Ernest Lussier are in keeping with practical elegance of this encyclopedia of tying. This text is bound to become a major contribution to the art of fly-tying in our day.
