Very well written entry level book

I found this book very easy to understand compared to similar technical books. Illustrations and details of tying techniques are excellent. I would recommend this book to anyone considering this sport.

excellent basics of flytying book for beginners and above.

After little formal training and some flytying kit manuals , I found Fling and Puterbaugh's manual. It was just what I needed to continue in my hobby. The authors' include thorough chapters on tools,work environments and materials. Nothing is assumed in this book. Although the sections on insect life cycles are just a brief overview, the specific patterns shown include excellent step by step drawings to walk even a 9 year old through with ease. This text has become my new fly tying instructor
