Description

Wild River Press is pleased to announce Top Saltwater Flies by noted Florida fly designer Drew Chicone. It’s the largest tying-instruction book on the subject ever published.

This brilliant new three-volume set covers dozens of highly original fly patterns irresistible to wary bonefish, tarpon and permit. It’s filled with tips and tricks you will immediately find useful when you sit down at your fly-tying vise.

Publisher Thomas R. Pero says that, in the world of tying for the salt, there’s never been anything in print with this scope and detail.

Impressive large-format, tack-sharp color photos will help guide you through every detailed step of tying an exciting selection of today’s most effective fly patterns. Many of these innovative tying techniques and designs have been kept under wraps by professional guides and fly tiers for years. Yet a lot of them are surprisingly simple.

This big saltwater tying series truly sets a new standard for publishing excellence. If you really love fishing for bonefish, tarpon or permit, you owe it to yourself to order this instructive and eye-popping new encyclopedia.

The first volume of Top Saltwater Flies opens with in-depth introduction that steers every marine tier—beginner or expert—to the best vises and tools you’ll need. Not all are expensive. Some, in fact, you can make yourself. Author Drew Chicone says it’s all about being organized.

Wait till you see the dubbing magic Drew teaches you with a miniature dog brush! And how to cleverly craft remarkably lifelike crab-fly bodies. How to fashion perfect weed guards. How to choose the right thread for the job. Which hooks to use and which to avoid. Blending colors that flats fish find irresistible. Making poppers that work. Adding pre-tied neutral flies and permanent colored markers to your tackle bag to up your game on the water. . . .

Do you know about attaching dumbbell eyes to your favorite bonefish pattern with a “doughnut wrap”? You’ll learn how here. In a full and complete chart, presented for the first time in Top Saltwater Flies, the author takes the mystery out of selecting lead and bead-chain eyes by comparing all the major brands by size and weight, and matching them to the size fly you are tying.

And there’s more, more, more.
