• Presents the dressings over 270 fly patterns divided into nymphs, wet flies, lures (including fry patterns), dry flies & emergers, and terrestrials.

• For ease of reference a photograph of each fly, the dressing menu, a list of variants and comments on each individual pattern are all shown on the same page.

• Provides a comprehensive ‘on the bench’ reference handbook for both the amateur and professional fly tyer.
