The Feather Bender's Advanced Flytying Techniques

Each pattern helps the reader to learn or perfect several advanced skills. Barry also clearly explains the best tools and materials to use to make secure, effective, and durable flies… He is the only expert in his field to have matched each of his step-by-step flytying chapters with an online video linked by QR code.

‘A new book from Barry Ord Clarke is a pretty safe bet on a good book, and this one is indeed good.’

‘I regard this book much as I did the first volume, and it’s a perfect continuation, and does exactly what it promises: adds “advanced” to the techniques and the flies, also making it a perfect follow-up to the first title. So if you gave “The Feather Bender’s Flytying Techniques” to someone for Christmas last year, you have the perfect gift for this year: the sequel! The book is the same format, large, 250+ pages, extremely well illustrated, laid out and printed.’

Through 28 fishing fly patterns, Barry explains new and more difficult techniques in the same logical way as in those two previous books: using high quality photographic step by step sequences and clear and concise instructions, backed by QR codes to the relevant videos available online. The book also includes explanations of the tools and materials involved.

Whatever your learning style, this book and the video sequences allow you to follow along at your own pace or dip in and out to check and confirm your steps. Highly recommended for all improving and intermediate fly tyers.
