  • Atlantic Salmon Fly Tying from Past to Present
    10 Isabelle Levesque Atlantic Salmon Fly Tying from past to present Without pretending to be an historian, I can state that the evolution of salmon flies has been known for over two hundred years. Over that time, and long before, many changes have come to the art of fly tying; the materials, tools, and techniques we use today are not what our predecessors used. In order to understand the modern art, a fly tier ought to know a bit of the evolution and history of line fishing, fly fishing, and the art of tying a fly. Without going into too much detail, here is a brief overview of the evolution and the art of angling and fly tying. I will start by separating the evolution of fly tying into three categories: fly fishing, the Victorian era, and the contemporary era. Historians claim that the first scriptures on flies were from Dame Juliana Berners’s Book of Saint Albans (1486), which incorporated an earlier work, A Treatise of Fishing with an Angle. The Benedictine nun wrote on outdoor recreation, the origin of artificial flies, and fly-fishing equipment. This book was updated in 1496 with additional fishing techniques. In the early 1500s, a Spanish author by the name of Fernando Basurto promoted fishing among sportsmen with hisLittle Treatise on Fishing; but the first masterpiece of English literature on fishing wasThe Compleat Angler by Izaak Walton and Charles Cotton, published in 1653. Walton was a passionate fisherman who wanted to promote fishing as an activity in communion with nature. Unlike modern books about fishing, Walton’s did not specify equipment or techniques to use in particular fishing situations.

  • Fly Tying Guide 7-6-2015
    INTERNET FLY TYING GUIDE WWW.Addresses for Videos, recipes, patterns and other Fly Tying related items Issue: 7/6/2015 Total guide references: 3,002 Author – Dennis Stead (Note: Fly Index in back of PDF) In January 2012, I was introduced to fly tying by a group of people that belonged to the Missouri Trout Fishermen’s Association (MTFA). I was hooked. I soon realized that flies to be tied came in all sizes, shapes, colors and names. Well I thought, maybe I would start collecting fly tying patterns (recipes) and put them in a data base in my computer. At first, I thought it would be easy. Then I found The Fisherman’s Handbook of Trout Flies by Donald DuBois. This was published in 1960, and it included a comprehensive identification list of 5,939 trout fly patterns. That was over 50 years ago. Since that time, I could not even guess how many new trout fly patterns (recipes) were added. Collecting fly tying patterns (recipes) was not the way to go. I watched fly tying DVD’s and thought that this was a great way to have the pattern (recipes) and also learn how to tie the fly pattern. Then one of the MTFA members suggested that I search for the fly tying patterns (recipes) on the Internet, especially YouTube. Have you ever searched YouTube for a fly tying video or the Internet for a fly tying recipe? If the answer is yes, then you know that both have more fly tying instructions on just about every pattern you have heard of.
