Wet Flies

Wet Flies: Tying and fishing soft-hackles, winged and wingless wets - flymphs and fuzzy nymphs:  Begins with comparisons between subsurface flies and the insects they resemble, and therefore the reasons they’re so effective. Complete material lists and step-by-step instructions for tying soft-hackled wet flies, wingless wets or flymphs, traditional winged wets, and fuzzy nymphs. The one book you must have if you have any interest in learning to tie and fish wet flies, or if you’d like to advance your knowledge about them, abilities to tie them, and the number of trout you catch on them. Based on long study of the natural insects, and the ways in which wet flies imitate them. Also based on friendships with Pete Hidy, author with James Leisenring of The Art of Tying the Wet Fly and Fishing the Flymph, and with Sylvester Nemes, author of The Soft-Hackled Fly and many other books about soft-hackles.

This book has become a cult classic among wet fly experts, and among those who desire to learn how to tie and fish these flies that have been left behind and even at times derided by less knowledgeable anglers, though there are many times when they're the most effective flies to take trout.

Dave has a very limited number of first edition, first printing left, and will sell them on a first come, first served basis, with a fly tipped in.

Please let Dave know if you would like it personalized, and the correct spelling of the name to whom it should be inscribed. If no instructions are given, the book will be autographed but not personalized.
