Fly tiers, more than other groups of fishermen, are faced with a bewildering array of equipment and material-feathers, fur, thread, dubbing, vises, accessories, hooks -- not to mention the fly patterns themselves. Gene Kugach, best-selling author of fishing-tips books, here applies his expertise to the fly tier's craft, with an invaluable guide to tools and materials, along with step-by-step instructions for 70 patterns of all types and an extensive, cross-referenced section on hooks from the major manufacturers.
