Become a Thinking Fly Tier: The Way to Rapid Improvement

Autor James J. Cramer Al Beatty
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 mai 2013
The intent of this book is to help you become a better tier by encouraging you to truly think about what, why, and how you are tying. All fly tiers have a desire to advance their level of skill but many find themselves stuck on a plateau. You will be challenged to grow beyond the “paint by numbers” approach that has limited your tying progress. This is not mission impossible and your rewards will be a noticeable increase in the quality and uniformity of your flies and an increase in the speed of your tying.
