Many tie flies mechanically, without real understanding what each wrap means to the fly. This is a book that made me rethink and access my tying from a different angle. It helped me and i believe it may do the same to you. The Feather Mechanic (A flytying philosophy) is a book with new approach, it teaches people to think rather than copy. Very interesting, exciting way of telling people why certain things work. It explains why certain things are done in certain way so that reader can understand the logic behind specific way of tying. It does have some step by step patterns which are more like guidelines than recipes. one has to follow, in fact, its all but recipe book.
Hand written instructions, drawings, personal fishing stories that back up and reinforce the logic behind the fly, make it very warm and more intimate. Which in turn, makes this read very light and at the same time very informative and educational.
I dont know a single person who doesn't like this book and i love it too, otherwise i wouldn't bother to order several copies for me and my friends and get them to China ( shipping cost as much as the books, if not a bit more )

For those of you who want to order their copy, just contact Gordon Van Der Spuy on facebook, and see how to get one...

Thank you all for watching

Keep safe and tight lines,
