After the runaway succes ofThe Feather Mechanic, withThe Feather Mechanic II: Beyond the PatternGordon van der Spuy takes us on a fly tying journey with some of the best tyers on the planet. They take us through their thought processes behind the patterns they write about and unpack the details behind what makes these flies the killer fishing tools that they are. The book is full of illustrations because a picture paints a thousand words. With over 200 hand-drawn pictures, its a jam-packed with fly-tying goodness.
