[Fly Tying Book] Nymphs for Streams & Stillwaters – D. Hughes

We follow up our latest fly tying video Torrey’s Hares Ear Nymph with a fly tying book recommendation by none other than Torrey Collins of Housatonic River Outfitters.

Must Have Fly Tying Books

Here’s what Torrey had to say about Dave Hughes latest master piece,

“I swear this guy never stops writing. Author of multiple books & editor of Fly Fishing & Fly Tying Journal, Dave has written a killer book of over 370 pages filled with effective nymphs & tying instructions. Well organized and with a plethora of great pictures, this is one truly beautiful book. Quite thorough, with the main 3 categories being searching nymphs for moving water, imitative nymphs for moving water, and nymphs for stillwaters. Within those categories it is subdivided into many more such as by different tying materials (fur, herl, wire, rubber legs, etc.), insect types, Czech nymphs, etc. Buried throughout the text are little pearls of wisdom involving both tying tips as well as fishing tips. He even has some sage advice on logically setting up your fly boxes to cover most of the bases. This is a really, really nice book that anyone who ties nymphs would benefit from having in their collection.”
