A trout can be fooled by a hook dressed in feather and thread to look like a living insect. Ellery Gregg teaches the art of tying flies, from tools and hooks to the materials and patterns that tempt fish. Clear diagrams guide every wrap and whip-finish. For the angler ready to craft their own lures at the vise. Sit down and tie your first fly.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
