Great info and written with easy to follow instructions
Aunt Lydia’s rug yarn lives up to its reputation. It’s by far more superior to other yarns and synthetics for crab/shrimp bodied. I feel that when tied in with x-wraps, that it creates a much more full looking body.
Excellent hi-def photos with in-depth instructions. Really puts you in the mood to tie up a bunch of flies. Only disappointment was not all patterns specified hook size.
Every book has great photography and instructions. I learn something new with each book and cannot wait for the next one to come out! Keep up the good work Drew!
I enjoy the book and will continue to use it for years to come. I especially enjoy the technical sections of the book. Thank you!
Im quickly looking for more and more patterns to use these on. Excellent pupil contrast no fading issues. I also like that they are prominent but lightweight.
I love the patterns Drew choose for this book and the history behind them.
Great book! The instructions and photos are very well done.I can’t wait to get started tying these flies. I do like the introduction to each fly giving its history and the originator of the fly. Well with getting if you tie saltwater flies.
This is great information for some helpful hints to tie better flies.
Thanks Drew
Having just started down the path to feather addiction I was impressed by some of the common sense approaches to some fairly ordinary tying applications. La, the idea of just tightening by pulling up so there’s no pressure to roll the feathers!
Priceless instruction and concisely presented including the wrong way to accomplish a task!
Very helpful as it goes through very simple and practical ways to improve one’s flies and fly tying. You don’t need to be an expert at the bench to gain from this work. I frequently caught myself saying “that makes perfect sense and why didn’t I think of that long ago.” Helps improve efficiency and a quality of my fly tying. Thanks for the tips.
I haven't tied anything yet, but in looking thru the ebooks, I am blown away at the detailed, step by step instructions and pictures! Definitely worth it!
Perfect for Bauer and Contraband crabs. I couldn't find square legs anywhere else.
Just what I was looking for. Perfect for crab patterns
So far so good, very helpful, still working/reading through it.
Drew's greatest gift to all of us who strive to be better tiers is the way he thinks about fly function and then fly design and is able to convey his insights so clearly through words and excellent, large photos. If you just picked up your first vice this winter or have been tying for 20 years, you'll love this eBook.
Great working with the square rubber legs. Will be using them for a while
I really like the length of the fur. It's great for making tails for your shrimp pattern, but also body dubbing material. Also, the colors are very natural looking. The Coyote Ugly Shrimp is my go to pattern when the fish are feeding on shrimp.
A must for any fly fisherman, Bass are great fun on rod and line but when you fly fish for them it goes to a whole new level. Get an 8 weight and tie up some of Drews patterns and have fun! My only question is when's the smallmouth ebook coming? Thanks Drew! @britishbassslammer
