This is a compendium of forty-five of Barry Thornton's best article
and columns on fishing with flies in the Northwest. Barry focuses
on three main angling opportunities -- saltwater fly fishing for
Pacific salmon, fly fishing for steelhead and still water fly
fishing for rainbow trout. These are the primary fishing sports in
the region and provide a worthy challenge for those anglers who
have been drawn to fly fishing. The anthology's lively and
easy-to-read style is complemented by a vivid thirty-two-page
colour section. Full of valuable information, tips on tackle,
amusing anecdotes and useful reminders, Fly Fishing will reel-in
readers in pursuit of trophy fish.
An introduction to 400 flies, making use of modern materials that
have revolutionized the art of fly tying in recent years. Each fly
is described and illustrated in full, including dressing and
comments regarding when to use it and how to fish it effectively.
There are patterns for reservoirs, lochs, small fisheries, gravel
pits and rivers; and for grayling, salmon and sea trout. There are
further guest contributions from international experts.
