Flies As Art - Paul Whillock

"Each chapter of Flies as Art looks in depth at a particular insect and chapters are divided into three sections: SECTION # 1: An Entomological overview of a particular insect, there will be an extensive text description of the bug and its habitat and a series of high quality entomological photographs that will assist the fly tyer in their understanding of the insects colour and size etc. SECTION # 2: A Step By Step series of high quality, graphic line drawings explaining every aspect of tying an 'art fly' version of that insect. This section will also feature extensive text and entomological diagrams that will display body proportions, leg and wing measurements etc. There will also be a series of beautiful, high quality photographs of the finished fly together with close up shots of key body parts. SECTION # 3: Step by step photographic sequences explaining how to tie a simplified, realistic fishing version of the same fly. Once again, there will be an extensive written text section to explain every aspect of the fly and its fishing methods and advantages."--P.4 of cover.
