Fly Patterns for Stillwaters

This book explains the critical link between understanding the food base within a lake and designing effective fly patterns for these environs. It includes chironomids, scuds, mayflies, damselflies, leeches, dragonflies, caddisflies, beetles, forage fish and snails.

Each chapter begins with a detailed description of the particular food item outlining its life cycle, relative importance, size, coloration and habits. Phil then provides proven patterns along with step by step tying sequences describing both materials and tying techniques.
