Books for Salmon Fly Tying
Hi, folks. Thanks again for those most helpful critiques and encouragement of my first salmon flies. They're fun to tie.
I used Ronn Lucas' lessons here in the Fly Tying section and they're great. Really great. Thanks, Ronn.
I also like books. Too much, maybe. So I'm looking for up to three good books on tying Atlantic Salmon Flies. I need really good detailed color photos and step by step instructions. I'm interested in hairwing and featherwings. I'd like to be able to tie these flies without having to sell the farm for materials. Anyone have any specific books to recommend? I'm going to list a few specific ones that look good on Amazon. If you've used them and you love or hate them, let me know!
