This book provides an in-depth look at all the possible ingredients and methods for tying salmon flies.
Starting with the first elements, hook and thread, the author provides guidance on working with peacock or ostrich herl and adding body hackles, throat hackles and collars.
Radencich explains which feathers are best suited to each type of hackle.
He then moves on to the wings, the most distinguishing element of a fully dressed classic salmon fly. A discussion of underwings and married and full-feather wings follow, with details on the advantages and disadvantages of each kind of feather.
Includes 370 colour photographs. Published in America.
