Salmon Flies: Their character, style, and dressing. A modern guide to tying flies for Salmon, including over 160 traditional and contemporary patterns. By Poul Jorgenson. Introduction by Joseph D. Bates, Jr. "The most remarkable and the most beautiful fishing flies an angler can tie to his leader are those created for salmon," says master flytier Poul Jorgensen. His new SALMON FLIES, Their Character, Style, and Dressing gives today's tier complete information and techniques for tying over 60 traditional and modern salmon fly patterns--and the opportunity to participate in a true flytying art. Patterns like the legendary Jock Scott, the Blue Charm, and the General Practitioner are the most elaborate and colorful in the flytying world, flies befitting the magnificent "King of Fish"--the Atlantic and Pacific salmon. They are also among the oldest of fishing lures, having been tied and fished continuously from early 19th century England and Scotland up to today, when they have been joined by the Rat series, the Spey flies, salmon dry flies, and modern tube flies.
