Summary: Showcases 34 superbly crafted salmon flies
Review: Century End: A Fly Tying Journey showcases 34 superbly crafted salmon flies. Each one is beautifully presented in full color and exquisite detail, with the recipe and originator noted. Paul Ptalis discuses and illustrates techniques related to artistic "flow", "seeing the material", and developing one['s own style in tying these salmon flies. This informative, artistic presentation is further enhanced with hook information (both antique and contemporary), tying suggestions, and more. Century End is a practical, esthetic, and very welcome addition to any dedicated angler's reference shelf.
