Sylvester Nemes is singlehandedly responsible for the popularity of the soft-hackled fly in American fly fishing today.
The Soft-Hackled Fly, Nemes’s first book, written in 1975, was the catalyst for the resurgence. Now revised with ten new chapters on tiny flies and full-color photos, Nemes shares colorful experiences at home and abroad, the history of the soft-hackled fly, and illustrated step-by-step instructions for tying the flies. He also describes his technique of fishing the flies.
WHAT THE EXPERTS ARE SAYING:On Sylvester Nemes and his books:“Sylvester Nemes is or ought to be known as the practitioner, patron saint, and propagandist of the soft-hackled fly.” –Christopher Camuto,
Gray’s Sporting Journal
