• The Master’s Fly Box will contain 21 chapters. Each chapter will be based on an interview with one premiere angler. Each chapter describes that angler’s theories about fly design, as well as his favorite fishing techniques. Each chapter will contain tips about where and when to fish, and tackle selection. This approach will give readers information about both fly tying as well as fishing, and will increase the books appeal to the broadest group of readers. The Master’s Fly Box will feature more than 200 photographs of flies with complete pattern recipes. Participants will also submit print-quality photographs of themselves and their clients fishing.
