Believing that simplicity is the surest route to tying a successful fly, Charles Meck offers some of his best tips from 50 years of practising the art. You won't find any woven bodies here. You won't find any complicated classic salmon patterns. What you will find are tips on making easy-to-tie, highly productive flies. Some of the techniques make tying flies faster. Some of them just make it easier and more straightforward. Some of them make patterns stronger and more durable. Meck also goes over using synthetic materials like Z-Lon, poly and Antron, as well as giving advice on using the classics. In addition to general tips, Meck shows fly fishers exactly how to tie more than 25 highly productive patterns, like the Beadhead Glo Bug, the Deer Head Caddis, and the Twisted Dun. Each pattern highlights some of Meck's new techniques. Techniques covered include: how to make a whip finish and half hitch with ease; tying legs on nymphs and emergers; how to tie terrestrial patterns for specific streams; anchoring synthetics; an easy way to prevent a wing from slipping forward; and many more. Mecks's manual should find an important place on every fly tyer's bench.
