The purpose of this book is two-fold: to trace the evolution of realistic fly tying and to feature the creations of the world’s most skilled practitioners of this art form. Some of these contemporary artisans concentrate on imitations of aquatic insects most likely seen by fly fishers. Their focus is on mayflies, caddisflies and stoneflies. For others, the sky is the limit and they tie replicas of anything, including praying mantis, crabs, bees, hornets, ants, spiders, and fish. Their is a small, but expanding, cadre of enthusiastic tyers whose work will astonish even those who have never tied a fly. The realism of their fly patterns, whether an art form destined for framed presentation, or a working fly intended for the end of a fly leader, will amaze.
This landmark work includes a brief history of fly tying, which started 4,000 years ago, all the way up to modern realistic fly tying. The recollections of two pioneers of contemporary realism, America’s Bill Blackstone and the UK’s Oliver Edwards, fill in the blanks between the early 1900s and today’s realism, beginning in the 1950s.
