Century End: A Fly Tying Journey

By Paul Ptalis and Ptalis

Atlantic salmon flies are exquisite works of art with a history that is as interesting as it is full of tradition. This gorgeous book takes us back in time to England, Ireland, and Scotland when the original Spey and classic Atlantic salmon flies were originated and flourished as fishing flies. Each of the 34 glorious flies are pictured at almost half-page in size, and each includes the recipe and originator. Also included is hook information -- both antique and contemporary -- artistic tying suggestions, and more. This full-color book is useful to the tier and a beautiful addition to the library of any fly fisherman.
