This book is designed as a guide not only for the beginner but also for the more experienced hand. The angler’s enjoyment is much enhanced if his fish has been caught on a fly of its own making, and even more so if it is a pattern of his own devising. Denis Ardley, after describing the tools and equipment required, sets out the various processes and techniques of fly-dressing in logical sequence. His experience in teaching the subject has proved invaluable. As a result the book is written in easily understood language, and the well-executed drawings and photographs have been specially planned to illustrated the step-by-step instruction.
