Fishing Flies for Africa

Fishing flies for Africa is the first of its kind - a reference guide to fishing flies for use in Africa. The author has poured over two decades of research and a lifetime of experience into this title, sharing a wealth of experience and unparalleled enthusiasm on the subject. Included are over 800 flies of European, American, Australasian and local origin. The origin and developmental history of each fly is discussed, as well as its dressing, any variations and the appropriate method for fishing with it. Additional design and tying notes are included where applicable. Appropriate substitutes for rare or environmentally sensitive materials are listed, and the book has a serious focus on ecologically friendly fly-fishing, with an entire chapter dedicated to natural materials and their substitutions. Almost every fly listed is accompanied by a colour photograph.
