About this book
How to Tie Flies is by Ellery Clark Gregg, and its contents include an introduction and tools, hooks, and materials. The text speaks of prolonging fishing seasons through the long winter evenings with a supply of fur, feathers and tinsel, and calls the result a profitable, artistic and pleasant hobby. The text asks beginners to reject any inclination to skip over the first part of this book, and says it sincerely encourages them to begin at the beginning.
The text says many of the fundamentals learned in tying Bucktails are used in tying all of the flies to follow. The text says floating bugs represent the large moth, butterfly, etc., and that one of the easiest to make is entirely constructed from the body hair of the deer, reindeer, or caribou. The text says caribou feathers can be used, or sections of the feathers, depending upon the size of the hook, and that a size 4 long shank hook is a good size to tie them for salmon.
