Said Tom: “I wrote this book and drew the illustrations for it with one purpose in mind โ to help beginners learn fly tying from scratch. The intention is to teach the principles of fly tying to an absolute novice in steps that are easily understood and precisely illustrated โ steps such as learning thread tension, the proportion of flies, how to handle various materials, how to wing a dry fly and so on. My objective is that by the end of the book the fly tier concerned should be able to tie virtually any pattern he or she wants.
“To help in the understanding of basics I have long believed that pen drawing achieves more than photographs. Examples of actual illustrations from the book follow.
“The Elements of Fly Tying book has a magnificent glossy embossed cover, has 206 pages and illustrates 20 different fly patterns. It was published by Platanna Press (2008). The foreword is by Murray Pedder. It has illustrations for every step and for every pattern described.”
