THIS HAS TO BE THE BEST WAY TO LEARN FLY TYING!

Tim Rolston releases his eBook, Essential Fly Tying Techniques

In this his latest book, Tim Rolston brings us one of the most engaging, ingenious and comprehensive introductions to learning the many arts of fly tying I have ever encountered. Embracing three pillars (drawings, text and video), all simultaneously inter-active on your pc screen, this book is surely a first of its kind in the world. I found it a comprehensive, lucid and fascinating introduction to fly tying and have no hesitation in endorsing it as an invaluable tool for beginners and advanced fly tiers alike. There are 80 full colour graphics, 30 video clips, over 20 tying techniques and a step by step guide to 14 different patterns! But it is the way the text, the drawings and the videos all so neatly and efficiently interact that you will find so useful and absorbing.

This will be the first in a series of Tim’s eBooks on fly tying that will eventually include future editions on the following subjects:

Small Stream Dry Flies, Spun Duns and Comparaduns, Tying Deer Hair Patterns and Fly Tying Guide Flies.

The book is now available on pre-order from http://www.inkwaziflyfishing.co.za/ at R199.00 initially including postage. The book will also be available from the Net Books on-line book store (http://www.netbooks.co.za/) and selected retail outlets.
