Size: 8x1x9; In Very Good+ condition and Very Good+ dustjacket. In sum, this is truly The Complete Book of Fly Tying. It will clarify the mysteries for the beginner; it will reveal tricks of the trade for the expert who seeks to improve his method or who wants to tie types of flies he has not attempted before. It also covers, of course, the necessary tools and is filled throughout with immensely helpful discussion of materials, and their special uses and characteristic behavior during the process of tying. And there is specific advice on how to master difficult or obstinate materials such as deer hair, which often baffles beginning tiers of the hair-bodied fly. Throughout, Eric Leiser not only describes each step in detail, but shows how to avoid some all-too-common mistakes. This book is a complete education--and one that will leave you well prepared to tie any kind of fly for any fish taken on the fly rod. Eric Leiser, a master fly tier, teacher, and expert on the materials of the craft, is the author of Fly Tying Materials, as well as co-author with Larry Solomon of The Caddis and the Angler, and; with Robert H. Boyle, of Stoneflies for the Angler. He was on the board of United Fly Tiers and was an active member of Theodore Gordon Fly Fishers, the Federation of Fly Fishermen, and Trout Unlimited. Eric also served fly tyers nationwide with complete instructions on preparation and care of natural materials, photo dying, and as a source of high, standardized quality of fly tying materials.
