For many fly tiers, creativity and experimentation in fly design are what make fly-tying so interesting. In Creative Flies, Robert Williamson shares his 20-plus years of fly-tying and fishing experience to help you create well-constructed, fish-catching flies. The patterns in this book feature both new materials and techniques, as well as our traditional favorites.

Williamson also discusses the most effective presentations for these flies.
