I den här boken, från en av de mest kreativa och visionära sinnena inom flugbindning och flugfiske, delar författaren Blane Chocklett sina tips och tekniker för att få maximal rörelse ur dessa flugor, både vid bindstädet och på vattnet.
Tied on a series of interconnecting spines, these flies can be drawn through the water with a serpentine swimming action or made to glide and jackknife in the water with hard strips—movements that predatory fish find irresistible.
In addition to covering popular patterns such as the Finesse Changer and Feather Game Changer, Chocklett traces the evolution of his search for the ultimate pattern, and takes readers along his journey of discovery, by beginning with his Gummy Minnow and ending the book with perhaps the most effective fly ever designed for apex predators, the Hybrid Changer.
