This is the perfect book for the begginning fly-tyer. Through enormous effort on their part they bring to all who love flies and fly fishing a wonderful compendium of fly-tying knowledge. Every fly tier should have this book in their library. He lives in Hunt Valley, Maryland. A fly-fishing master teaches the intricate art of properly presenting a fly.
Nothing is more important in fly fishing than successfully presenting the fly.
No matter what rod, reel, line, and fly are used, the fish will not take if the fly is presented with a splash or out of target. Lefty delves into each of these subjects with his usual knowledgeable vigor. With over one hundred photographs and line drawings, Presenting the Fly belongs on every angler's bookshelf. I consider myself a novice fly-tyer, having resumed the hobby after a break of over forty years. I am getting ready to go to the Bahamas for a week and wanted to tie some bonefish flies.
