The Fly-tying Bible Peter Gathercole
Publisher: Aurum Press Ltd

Sounds like you need to buy the kit, hooks and some material and your on your way. So much so, that the knowledge contained on those pages continues to influence my work today. Edson Leonard, first published in 1950, with over 2000 fly patterns and what an eye-opener that was! The Bible is the written Word of the Creator. The Fly-Tying Bible: 100 Deadly Trout and Salmon Flies in Step-by-Step Photographs. I still have two editions of that work. For me the Dictionary was my fly tying bible. In the 1870s the fly fishing arm of Orvis was taken over by Mary Orvis, daughter of Charles, who published a landmark book of fly patterns. Part of the fun of fly-fishing is deceiving the fish with a fly you've tied yourself and presented in a way that makes it look natural. Avid sport fishermen will treasure this book?which is nearly as beautiful as the objects it describes. Yes the Fly Tying Bible by Peter Gathercole is another fine book to start working from right away. For many years it was my fly tying “bible” and the guiding light for much of my early efforts. Can fly fishermen teach us a lesson on life?
