Flies for Salmon & Steelhead introduces old and modern fly patterns from North America and Europe. The tradition of tying salmon flies with feathers is a very old one, recorded in Ancient Greece, but the Victorians instilled artistry into salmon fly tying with their elaborate built-wing flies using feathers from a variety of exotic birds. After a period in which featherwing flies were eclipsed by those made from animal hairs and man-made materials, the popularity of these versatile feathers is resurging. Chris Mann is a professional graphic designer and lifelong angler. He also wrote Beginner's Guide to Flytying with Terry Griffiths.
