The flytying community is buzzing with anticipation at the release of Arthur MacDonald’s book: Modern Flies and Ancient Lochs.
For a good number of years, tiers have been talking about Arhur’s unique style and approach to flytying.
What has people especially excited is the promise that the book will connect the old with the new and all the patterns have been beautifully photographed by Rob Denson.
Early indications suggest it includes modern approaches to classic loch-style flies, insights into how the historical patterns evolved with helpfull instructions and guidance on hiw to tie these flies.
Many see it as the kind of resource that could quickly become a go-to reference for everyone with a passion for Scottish loch style wets.
Whether you’re into traditional Scottish patterns, experimenting with contemporary materials, or simply enjoy reading about the history behind the flies we tie today, this book is shaping up to be something special.
Its no surprise that tiers everywhere are counting down the days until they can get their copy of this book which is sure to be a Modern Classic.
While we all wait in anticipation for it arriving on our bench there is a sneak preview of what to expect in this month's Trout & Salmon magazine.
