Title: Salmon Flies: Their Character, Style, and Dressing by Poul Jorgensen ISBN: 0-8117-1427-6 Publisher: Stackpole Books Pub. Date: November, 1999 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $40.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.5 (4 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: Color photos! a new "Stacked Hair Wing" and PJ wrote it!
Comment: Mr. Jorgensen has updated his classic work. His original sits beside my tying desk. The new one will replace the original.
Simple, clear and easy to understand (insofar as Atlantic Salmon Flies can ever be "easy") in technique and illustration.
This updated copy includes color photos (the old one apparently did not have the budget to print the photos in color) and addresses many issues that a starting Salmon Fly tier needs to know to start the steep learning curve for those patterns that are more art than function.
This isn't a book devoted to "Art Salmon Flies", but if you want to go in that direction this is as fine an introduction as there is.
This book addresses all aspects of tying these interesting and effective flies. You can easily tie a Jock Scott in hair wing or married wing with only a fair amount of time devoted to learning the new skills - if you are a decent intermediate Trout Fly tier.
A wonderful book by a living master.

Summary: Excellent
Comment: A book that shows clearly step by step tying of full dressed salmon flies.
The basics are taught whch can be applied to tye any fly.
The different types of flies are seperated and discussed in debth. Differences are explained and clear examples are given.
An excellent book for the beginner and I am sure there are things that the experienced tyier can learn.
I went from trout flies to salmon flies and found this book to be excellent.

Summary: P. Jorgensen's Second Ed. of Salmon Flies...
Comment: This is a nicely done revision of what was likely the most available reference at the time of the first edition. Poul has updated his text and finally, added color photographs to document his mastry of the art. Having dog-eared my first edition with use, I was glad to see and buy the new addition. Probably two things stand out as still needed: 1) better photographs of the techniques, and 2) more photographs and description of the classic and substitute feathers and their selection for collars, beards and palmered bodies. Note that this is very well covered in his videos.
All in all, Paul Jorgensen is unquestionably a grand master of this art, and his book is valuable for that aspect alone. His methods are proven and his skill is tremendous, but that is a difficult aspect to communicate.
