The Definitive Book on The World's Most Iconic Flies\nWithin fly tying, and within steelhead and salmon angling, Spey flies occupy a substantial niche. These flies are exceptionally popular in America, not only on the “steelhead coast,” but nationwide among fly tying enthusiasts, and they enjoy a substantial popularity worldwide; their popularity has gained renewed enthusiasm with the latest generation of young tiers and anglers (the private Facebook page “The Spey Tyer” has 3,600 members). The author is the world’s leading authority on the history and tying of Spey flies simply because they caught his fancy in the 1980s and over the years he has conducted more research on the topic by far than anyone else. His vision for this new incarnation of his original Spey Flies (Amato Publications, 2002) includes a tremendous upgrade from the original—an entirely new book, in fact—because he has uncovered so many historical facts, intrigues, people, and flies that have never been compiled in a single volume, or even presented in any form to the interested audience. The original Spey Flies was graphically rich; the new book is far more so.

That is the point of this book... to offer an in-depth look at the techniques and strategies that will, with just a little practice, help you enjoy fly-fishing at it's aesthetic finest on the glassy waters of the Western spring creeks.

This full-color book teaches you how to fly fish for magnificent, strong, acrobatic summer steelhead. Everything is covered: tackle, lines, rods, effective fly patterns and when to fish them, casting methods, reading water, wet-fly, greased line, skating, knots, wading, top 12 flies, fly tying etc.
