Microflies has been written to encourage those flyfishers who rarely consider fishing with anything smaller than a size 18 fly to think again. On many occasions the use of smaller flies can significantly improve your catches and sometimes, when fish are so preoccupied with feeding on tiny organisms that even a size 24 fly is far too big to tempt them, going micro is essential. The author provides detailed information about the various micro-invertebrates - aquatic and terrestrial - that are eaten by trout and grayling, as well as step-by-step tying instructions for his most effective fly patterns. The presentation of such tiny flies is much more problematic than with larger offerings, so Dave looks in detail at the use of light rods and lines, fine tippets and specialist knots. Colour photographs throughout. Blue boards, spine titled in gilt; 2023 1st edition. 4to (195 x 252mm), 200 pgs Hardcover.
