A Practical Guide to Tying with Synthetics

David Klausmeyer

Much of the creativity in the world of fly tying is coming from the exploration and use of synthetic materials. Whether it's closed-cell foam for that high-floating grasshopper, a wing made out of dish-packing material, or a nymph body fashioned from latex, synthetics are the new thing. Yet, no one has put together a useful guide showing how to tie with synthetics. Now, David Klausmeyer brings his brilliant photography and his written step-by-step instructions to bear, and shows how to blend these new materials with traditional ingredients to create a fly box full of practical, real-world fish-catching flies. These flies are guaranteed to catch trout!
