What
is "Classic Fly Tying"?
Ever wonder about the evolution of fly tying?
What types of flies would your great, great, great
grandfather have tied and fished with? How have
materials and tools changed over the years?
There's
just something about fly tying that ties us
to the past, a sense of how things used to be
done and still should be. The art of creation
passed down generation to generation. It's almost
indescribable.
The
Classic Fly Tying hopes to capture some of this
magic by presenting a series of chapters from
books (mostly from the 1800s and early 1900s),
many complete with illustrations, which were
the manuals of their day on how to tie flies.
