The Ellis Index - Book I - Enhanced Basics

by Mark Ellis

Overview

This isn't your "standard beginner" fly tying pattern book. These patterns were carefully selected for inclusion in this first volume to give basic tyers a wide and deep foundation while still teaching the advanced tyers a thing or two. In tying these patterns you'll work with all the basic stuff of course but you'll also be given the opportunity to learn to work with a wide variety of other materials including foam, rubber legs, polar fiber, yarn, eyes, and epoxy.

Patterns Included in Book I:

Polar Fiber Minnow (amazingly versatile pattern)
Lightning Bug
Y2K (the REAL deal)
Parachute Adams Mayfly
Bead Head Pheasant Tail Nymph
Foam Ant (makes a great indicator)
Foam Beetle
Foam Hopper
Wooley Bugger
RLFBHE (the all-around masterpiece)
