Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

For those who don't know it, tying flies is not only a practical hobby for the avid fisherman but also an art form--to say nothing of the emotionally soothing properties of spending time practicing it. Well-tied flies are a thing of beauty to behold. Talleur, a veteran writer on the subject, invites newbies and experienced tiers alike to benefit from his up-to-date information and thinking. His latest guide stems from the availability of newer materials and new graphics technology (the latter making the illustrations clearer in detail), as well as some new designs he recently came up with. He begins with 13 basic fly-tying tips, and then each subsequent chapter covers a different project, each of these chapters beginning with a list of what tasks, techniques, or strategies will be learned in that chapter's pages. If you have no fly-tying handbook in your collection, here is one to include. Brad Hooper

5.0 out of 5 stars Inside Fly Tying
Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2009

An extremely well written book by the author Dick Talleur. Each chapter starts with a brief bullet list of "what you will learn". The author goes far beyond the typical basic materials list with tying instructions. User questions are anticipated prior to the starting of each fly with clear explanations given to as to the how and why of certain procedures. For example "Why Apply the dubbing with the thread advanced a few turns ahead of the starting point", "What's the proper length of a wrapped hackle", "Why leave a tiny bit of bare quill exposed at the hackle tie-in point".
Step by step instructions are clearly written with several close up color photos of each step. Most photos have yellow arrows that highlight key/important points the student should pay particular attention to.
Included are chapters on "Fly Tying Tips", "Hackle Selection", "Spinning Deere Hair" and instructions and for tying several fly popular flies.

This book should advance one's fly tying knowledge by several years in a very brief period of time.

As a self taught tyer it is good to benefit from others' experiences and knowledge times to further our own. Mr Talleur has been quite generous between the covers of this book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Leider nicht nützlich

Dieses Buch erwarb ich in der Hoffnung, Tips für immer wiederkehrende Probleme beim Fliegenbinden zu finden: Wie binde ich Flügel aus FEdernfahnen, ohne daß diese bereits beim Binden zerfransen? Wie binde ich Fallschirmhecheln, die nicht sofort wieder aufgehen oder bei denen die echeln den Abschlußknoten nicht stören.

All diese Fragen blieben durch das Buch weiter unbeantwortet. Zudem wurden triviale Lösungen zu nicht-Problemen gegeben wie z.B. die Auswahl von Sattelfedern für Streamer, oder es wurde wie beim Hewitt Skater schlicht spekuliert und dass auch noch unrichtig (die richtige Bindeweise wurde Jahre vorher von Marinaro beschreiben).

Alles in Allem ein Buch das man leider nicht braucht. Dem Fliegenbinder sei stattdessen das Werk "The Fly Tyer's Benchside Reference" von Ted Leeson empfohlen.
