MIDGES: TYING: A Solutions Book (Solution Books 6)

This Solutions Book is the fly tier's companion book to Midges, which is also available on Kindle. Here, we will explore basic tying techniques that will increase most fly tier's skills. The book starts at the beginning by describing basic skills that apply to tying small flies. Tying small flies demands keen attention to every wrap of thread and to the application of each material. All well tied flies require the right amount of material in the right place, applied with no more than the needed number of thread wraps. The book continues by adding one material, and then more, to the previous pattern. Larva become pupa, then emerger, then adult imitations.
Twenty-five patterns are explained, using clear descriptions and 125 color photographs. Apply suggested material substitutions to fill a box with an arsenal of midge imitations.
