THE ORVIS GUIDE TO FLY-TYING Reviews

Product: THE ORVIS GUIDE TO FLY-TYING
Review Title: An excellent book covering nearly all basics
Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]

Review:
I just began to investigate the world of fly tying. This was the third or fourth book I read in detail, and the only one that provided enough detail to actually tie some simple flies correctly.<P>It provides a good combination of clarity on specific techniques, and step-by-step instructions on tying several patterns. Both the photos and the text are clear and easy to follow. Also, things are not made more tricky than they actually are, a problem with some of the other books. <P>I also just bought the Benchside Reference, which I agree with all is an indispensible reference. I could not put it down after I got it from the library, and that is saying a lot for a reference book. I think with the two, the typical beginner could tie a decent Wooly Bugger in an hour -- I did.
