Mayflies "Top to Bottom"
by
Shane Stalcup
Shane's realistic and proven flies have been developed over 20-plus
years of intense research at the vise, aquarium, and stream. With unwavering
passion, Shane's flies have been designed from the fish's point of
view, which is why his flies are so highly effective.
Besides sharing--through step-by-step photos--all that he carries
in his vest, Shane goes a step further by providing in-depth chapters
on creating trailing shucks and extended bodies. The photos in this
book are dazzling, but the insect photos of Japan's famous photographer
Toshi Karita are presented for the first time--and they will blow you
away!
Mayflies: Top to Bottom also goes into detail on uses for some of
today's newest materials that bring alive the triggering traits in
his mayfly patterns. Whether you are a novice tier or have lots of
experience, Shane's common-sense approach to fly-tying will benefit
all.
