If I can’t have Dave Hughes at my shoulder while I’m trying (or while I’m fishing, for there’s valuable on-stream advice here, too), I’ll take a copy of Trout Flies and be a better tier and angler.” – Jim Butler, editor of Fly Rod & Reel
"Trout Flies - The Tier's Reference" is the definitive work for trout fishermen who tie flies, step-by-step reference for tying nearly 500 patterns that will take trout everywhere, in all conditions. Dave Hughes is an accomplished fly tier and a student of entomology, but he is a fly fisherman first, and one with a gift: the ability to organize and explain in clear, readable language what can be a bewilderingly complex subject. It follows that his masterwork is aimed at fishermen who want their fly tying to support their fishing, and not the other way around.
Hughes’s systematic approach to tying evolved from a lifelong study of trout food forms and vast experience on the water. Dave Hughes understands trout and their prey. And that is the heart of the difference between this book and countless others on fly tying. Tying instructions for the most useful or most used pattern in each style are presented in step-by-step color photos and detailed captions and are followed by the pattern’s most useful variations.
David Hughes is one of the most respected and widely published writers in fly-fishing. He contributes to all the major fly-fishing magazines and is a regular columnist for Fly Rod & Reel.
This is your chance to learn from one of the best fly fishermen around.
