Product information "Patagonia Pheasant Tail Simplicity Fly Tying Book"

The Pheasant Tail Simplicity: Recipes and Techniques for Successful Fly Fishing volume is the ideal handbook for anyone who wants to understand fly fishing as an art rather than an equipment frenzy. Whether in a clear mountain stream, on winding mountain rivers or on an everyday fishing trip - this book shows how to fish successfully with little equipment.

The three proven experts Yvon Chouinard, Craig Mathews and Mauro Mazzo combine decades of experience in fly fishing, tying techniques and water science. Together they argue that hundreds of patterns are not necessary, but rather a handful of well thought-out approaches, a reliable fly and the right instinct for situations. Their philosophy: less equipment, more understanding of nature, movement and technique.

With step-by-step instructions on 18 proven fly patterns, a complete materials list and QR codes to supplementary video tutorials, tying and presenting these patterns for both trout and other fish species is a breeze. The book combines practical knowledge, precision craftsmanship and a clear philosophy of minimalism. Whether for fly tiers, water enthusiasts or all those who want to simplify their technique, this work is an inspiring companion for focussed, conscious fishing.
