Never mind that I already have an excellent collection of ready-made flies housed in half a dozen fly boxes. A Fly Fisherman can always use more flies than he can ever use. I know this is a paradox. Trout fishermen love paradox. That s why they fish for trout.
Trout are clever, finicky, and beautiful, but they are fish, for goodness sake.
There is a general belief that if one is a good-looking guy, one will attract good looking girls. However, Fly Tying Made Clear and Simple is no paradox. It is just an excellent book for beginners learning how to tie appropriate flies to catch those clever, clever trout. Skip Morris provides everything from a list and definition of tools and materials needed, to detailed instructions for tying nymphs, dry flies, wet flies, and streamers. Morris has been tying flies long enough to know and understand the problems that a beginner can get himself into.
