More on the midge than most know....

The Lyons Press is on a roll. Micropatterns is thorough and detailed in every way. This book compares well with the Fly Tyers Benchside Reference (Frank Amato press) for the clarity of prose and depth of detail. I believe a new genre has arrived. Mr. Martin has everything from scanning electron micrographs of antron, broken hooks and hackle to the delicate methodology of keeping 10-ought thread flat while tying. The illustrations are superb and well placed. If 18-26 size flies are your game, this is your book.
