I found this book to be a highly interesting and beautiful read. (Yes, I got a preview PDF copy). The introduction and background on Hans Van Klinken was a look into someone that just doesn’t tie flies and fish, but someone who takes the time to experience all that is around him. The photos depicted in the book are outstanding! All of the fly patterns covered are done in clear and easy to follow steps, highlighted by an accompanying reference photo. I can’t wait to dive in and tie a few for myself. For the novice to the experienced the flytyer, there’s a bit of history woven into the book and to say the least, its captured well. I would highly recommend this book as an addition to your fly tying/history library. I need to make room on my bookshelf for when it comes out.

Hans van Klinken is traveling across Europe to fly fairs and flyfishing shows. Have a look where he will be next and hopefully you can see him, buy his book and get a copy signed. 

Hans will be in the UK in August speaking in Ashford Carbonell, Shropshire. Please call us if you would like a ticket (limited capacity, £10) 01584 877456.
