Tying Streamers

As an avid streamer fisherman and commercial tier I can tell you that finding information on how to properly construct modern streamers is no easy task. Charlie has put his years of experience tying and teaching to great use in the writing of his newest book. By breaking down material use and pattern construction to manageable chunks this book will take years off your streamer tying learning curve. This is a needed addition to any tier's library!--Mike Schmidt, Director, Intercultural Studies Program, Prairie College Charlie Craven always seems to find more efficient ways to produce sexier flies. Not only does he have a critical and creative mind, he is the best communicator in fly tying today, with a neighborly, engaging writing style and clear, detailed photography that will drag you kicking and screaming into the world of better fly tying.--Ross Purnell, publisher/editor of Fly Fisherman magazine Charlie Craven is one of the most gifted fly tiers in America. His uncanny ability to share his passion with others is what makes him so special.--Pat Dorsey, author of Colorado Guide Flies: Patterns, Rigs, and Advice from the State's Best Anglers and Guides There is a very broad scope of techniques clearly and masterfully articulated in the pages of this book that fly tiers of all skill levels will find useful and aid in improving their skills, and I admire his use of both newer and older patterns to articulate his message. Very well done.--Rich Strolis, author of Catching Shadows: Tying Flies for the Toughest Fish and Strategies for Fishing Them This is the most comprehensive fly-tying guide to streamers to date. I highly recommend this book.--Blane Chocklett, originator of the Game Changer series of flies
