The fly tying book "Mayflies on their honeymoon" or "Ephemeridae nuptialis volatus" by Roberto Messori (Fly Line publisher) presents on 208 pages 49 artificial imitations of duns, spinners, and spents of Italian, European, and North American ephemera.
Each tying step is illustrated with pictures and descriptions. 29 different tying techniques are used to make the wings, hackles and bodies of the artificial flies. Some of the used techniques are published here for the first time. The dressings included in the book are accompanied by 51 photographs of subimagos and imagos.
The first part of the book analyses the theory of the "fundamental characteristic" and how it relates to the "alarm level" of fish. Indeed, it is a determining feature to consider when choosing materials and tying techniques.
This high-quality book shows classic and modern fly tying techniques and combined tying methods with illustrated steps. There are used exclusively natural tying materials. Roberto Messori describes also the conditions best suited for each dressing, advice and anecdotes on their use.
