The Global Flyfisher - Book review: Flytying for Beginners
Posted by Lydia Unwin on
Global Flyfisher, Martin Joergensen Autumn 2021
If I’m to recommend one beginner’s book in the future, this will very likely be it. This book teaches you exactly what the subtitle promises: ‘Learn All the Basic Tying Skills via 12 Popular International Fly Patterns’. Compared to many other and older books aimed at beginners, this title takes things a notch higher and embraces a modern, good looking and very functional book design as well as the online aspect. Buy and read the book, and the natural next stop will be Barry’s YouTube channel and the wealth of things you can learn there. Recently Barry was voted Fly Tyer of the Year by Fly Tyer Magazine, and I have nothing but praise and applause for that decision, which was the result of readers voting for their favourite tyer.
