Overview

A magnificent array of fly-tying patterns

Featuring dozens of delicate illustrations of classic mayfly and caddis fly patterns, this exquisite collection showcases an array of flyfishing essentials. With meticulously rendered pencil drawings of both artificial wet and dry flies used across North America—including full-hackled duns, emergers, spinners, and larvae—each illustration exemplifies the artist’s high level of attention to detail. From the Great Leadwing Coachman and Pale Yellow Drake to the Dark Hendrickson, each fly is clearly labeled and guaranteed to fascinate fly anglers at any level of experience. Beautifully reproduced in full color, this handsome display is a fantastic reference for any fisherman.

Reviews

“In my opinion, [Ernest Schwiebert] was the most important figure of the 20th century in the fly-fishing world.”  —Howell Raines, Pulitzer Prize–winner and former executive editor, New York Times


“Schwiebert’s elegant prose and fascinating storytelling make for enjoyable, engaging reading [that] is so detailed and comprehensive that the rest of us will be depending on Schwiebert’s work for decades to come.”  —Philip Monahan, editor, American Angler, on Nymphs


"Ernest Schwiebert was one of the most influential anglers of his time, bringing fluid prose and scientific precision to the knotty problems of enticing trout with artificial flies. Now a new generation can experience the Schwiebert touch as he adds still greater dimension to the art of nymph fishing.”  —John Merwin, fishing editor, Field & Stream, on Nymphs
