Got this book this weekend in the sale bin at Bass Pro. Its by Shane
Stalcup. Wonderful. His photography is stunning and the key concepts of
the book are highlighted by the photography.
What he tries to do is a "Tyer's Benchside Reference," using his techniques.
In addition, there are specific patterns. You learn a specific technique
and come out with a fly.
One major critique is that he has some wonderful pics of mayflies in the
book but does not identify them. Just a pic with no title.
Question for anyone. I've noticed he uses a lot of "Medallion Sheeting" for
wings. Is this a commercial name for plastic raffia?
