Tying Glass Bead Flies

Without the introduction of new materials, fly-tying would be pretty boring, and very limited as an art. So begins Joe Warren's introduction to tying flies with glass beads. This well-designed overview includes tying instructions for a wide variety of flies--dry and nymph--and excellent color photographs. Many of the flies covered are old standbys with the new bead twist; others are newfangled creations. The bottom line is that Tying Glass Bead Flies provides an exciting new angle to an old art form that thrives on a mix of tradition and innovation.
