This title features a book & DVD. The book features in-depth detail of the full range of classic salmon fly patterns from the simplest to the most complex. The twenty patterns together build on styles, types, materials, elements, and techniques. Learn to tie these twenty and you will master the craft and the art of classic salmon fly tying. Each chapter successively presents patterns that are more and more complex. In chapter one, you will learn very simple Spey and Dee styles, strip wings with a few elements. Then you will move on to simple upright wing flies, working with full feathers and married-wing styles. One chapter focuses on flies with multiple body divisions and another is devoted to Traherne's exquisite (and challenging) Victorian classics. Once you have mastered these, you will be able to tie any classic salmon pattern. Michael Radencich takes you through the classic patterns developed and fished throughout the nineteenth century, but there's more. The new patterns developed in the last two decades explore modern variations. To further reinforce your skills, Radencich also includes a two-hour DVD and an appendix that covers a hundred additional patterns culled from Radencich's collection of sources. Whether you are a beginning classic salmon fly-tier or more experienced with the classics, you will find Radencich's book and DVD an inspiring reference.
