Dyeing and Bleaching, Second Edition: Natural Fly-Tying Materials Dyeing and Bleaching, Second Edition: Natural Fly-Tying Materials

Reviews

A.K. Best, long known as one of the premier technical fly tyers, has penned a work that allows the average fly tyer, with minimal amounts of training and materials, a way of achieving necessary or needed colors in common feathers and furs used in fly tying. Best, in his own straight forward technical way, takes the reader from step to step in the preparation, bleaching, dyeing and final processing of a number of common fly tying materials. The steps are clear and the text is laced with a number of "common sense" ideas which may not be immediately apparent to the novice (or intermediate for that matter) tyer. A must-read for anyone going beyond the initial amateur stages of fly tying.

If you plan to try your own dyeing and bleaching of furs and feathers than you need this book it will save you a lot of time and trouble and cut the learning curve down to nothing. it tells you just what you need and how to mix the dyes and how to prep the fur (like it tells you to soak the fur or feather in water for a while before dyeing, I have never read that any place else and it helped) so lots of information and tips if I had purchased this book frist I would have save the cost on failed fur dyeing. I rate this a 5 star must have book

If you ever thought that you might be interested in this topic, this is the book. Easy to understand and lots of great tips to get started and continue on.

The second edition of this important book focuses on one of the most crucial aspects of the fly-tyer's art: color control. It is the most important book devoted entirely to the subject-an indispensable and practical handbook by one of America's finest and most respected professional fly tyers...

Terrestrials: A Modern Approach to Fishing and Tying with Synthetic and Natural Materials Terrestrials: A Modern Approach to Fishing and Tying with Synthetic and Natural Materials

Reviews

Not a bad book with quiet a few patterns. Unfortunately many if not most of the patterns described are not accompanied with a picture or drawing of the finished fly. Pictures are a terrific advantage when tying a particular fly for the first time, it gives the tyer an idea of what the finished product should look like, balance, proportions etc. Unfortunately this is where this well written (the written word only) book is let down.

AN EXCELLENT BOOK I RECOMMEND TO EVERY FLY FISHERMAN. VERY INFORMATIVE. STEEVES PATTERNS HAVE PROVEN THEMSELVES TIME AND TIME AGAIN AND ARE A MUST IN YOUR FLY BOX.

Average Rating:

This definitive book on terrestrials shows fly fishermen how to take advantage of a major food source for trout. Authors Harrison R. Steeves III and Ed Koch explain the biology and food value of beetles, ants, crickets, hoppers, bees, butterflies, and spiders and discuss their importance to anglers family-by-family...
