Detailed Step-by-Step Nymph Tying Instruction

Randall Kaufmann is one of the world’s leading authorities on flies, fly tying and fly fishing, and his innovative techniques have helped set the standard for today’s commercial tying operations.

In Tying Nymphs, Randall explains how to tie 39 of the world’s best nymphs with speed, ease and efficiency. 1,000 easy-to-understand close-up photos clearly show every wrap of thread. No other instructional photos compare.

Individual chapters focus on specific nymph patterns but center around variations on the theme. You are encouraged to expand your horizons and construct flies that work for where, when and how you fish.

Instruction chapters include 12-24 tying sequence photos detailing these patterns.

These chapters include an educational blend of entomology and practical angling information.

See larger views of sample pages and a typical tying sequence.

All major sub-aquatic food sources are represented and described, including mayflies, caddisflies, stoneflies, dragonflies, damselflies, midges, scuds, worms and leeches.

Tying instruction-patterns are laid out in a logical sequence, from easy to more difficult with each succeeding pattern building upon the techniques of the previous pattern.

Ultimately this information allows tyers to create their own imitations.

Patterns featured include those of the following innovative tyer-anglers and many of the photographed flies are originals tied by the innovators!

Woven in are angling adventures and photography of beautiful trout waters, including the Cascades, High Sierra, Wyoming Rockies, Argentina, and New Zealand. Several original Mike Stidham oils are stunningly reproduced.

Other chapters include Food Sources, Designing Nymphs, Stocking Your Fly Box, Tools, Hooks, Materials, Parts of a Nymph, Basic Tying Techniques, Weighting Flies and Speed Tying.
