"Charlie Craven's Basic Fly Tying" is a modern course in basic fly-tying fundamentals covering the essential tools, materials, and techniques to tie a wide range of popular flies. With 1,000 photos, Craven covers cutting-edge techniques for the more tried-and-true classics, such as the Royal Wulff, Adams and Hare's Ear, and shares innovative approaches to current patterns such as the Brassie, RS2 and Copper John.
With clear, concise text Craven provides tips and techniques from his over thirty years of tying flies for fly shops on Colorado's Front Range. This book is built on Craven's successful fly-tying classes, which start out with simple flies and work towards more complex patterns, all the while teaching techniques and introducing materials by tying popular patterns that catch fish in both Eastern and Western streams. This series of lessons show how flies build on one another, enabling readers to tie a wide range of patterns simply by breaking them down into parts. Craven illustrates this progression with his meticulous directions to fingerbusters like Copper Johns, Stimulators and Humpies.
