Spey Flies

Elegant and graceful, Spey flies originated on the River Spey in northeastern Scotland and are well over one hundred and fifty years old. Author Bob Veverka, passionate about Spey flies, gives us the history and background on classic Spey, Dee, Don, Eagle, and Steelhead Spey patterns, including step-by-step instructions for tying the Lady Caroline, White-Winged Akroyd Dee, and Orange Heron. The chapter on materials is loaded with insights from decades of tying-and the descriptions of salmon-fly materials will quickly become a standard reference for all those who tie salmon or steelhead flies.
