Spey Flies, Their History and Construction by John Shewey Pdf

The Definitive Book on Spey Flies Within fly tying, and within steelhead and salmon angling, Spey flies occupy a substantial niche. These flies are exceptionally popular in America, not only on the “steelhead coast,” but nationwide among fly tying enthusiasts, and they enjoy a substantial popularity worldwide; their popularity has gained renewed enthusiasm with the latest generation of young tiers and anglers (the private Facebook page “The Spey Tyer” has 3,600 members). The author is the world’s leading authority on the history and tying of Spey flies simply because they caught his fancy in the 1980s and over the years he has conducted more research on the topic by far than anyone else. His vision for this new incarnation of his original Spey Flies (Amato Publications, 2002) includes a tremendous upgrade from the original—an entirely new book, in fact—because he has uncovered so many historical facts, intrigues, people, and flies that have never been compiled in a single volume, or even presented in any form to the interested audience. The original Spey Flies was graphically rich; the new book is far more so.

The Classic Streamer Fly Box by Mike Valla Pdf

“The dry fly, the wet fly, and the nymph all enjoyed cherished places in an angler’s bag of tricks; but all except the most opinionated will agree that streamer flies and bucktails; when properly selected and employed, hook more and bigger fish more often and in more places than any other type of fly rod lure.” —Joseph D. Bates, Jr. Streamer Fly Tying and Fishing (1966) Streamers, and hair wing versions called bucktails, are versatile patterns that can be fished anywhere whether targeting landlocked salmon on a pristine Rangeley region Maine lake, largemouth bass swimming among the lily pads in a tepid southern farm pond, cutthroat trout inhabiting swift, western rivers or hypercritical browns in the Catskills.

The Soft-Hackled Fly by Sylvester Nemes Pdf

Everyone who casts flies for trout, whether eastern browns or western steelhead, has a favourite system, and it's hard to get a fly fisherman to change his ways. The soft-hackled fly is one of the most venerable trout patterns known to man, having been first on Dame Juliana Berner's famous list dated in 1497. Even hardened sceptics will benefit from Nemes' colourful experiences at home and abroad, and be intrigued by the fascinating history of the soft-hackles, the entomological explanation for their success, and the simplicity of their tying -- for which the author provides illustrated step-by-step instructions.
