Fusion Fly Tying

Over the past seven years, Greg Senyo developed an overwhelming customer base through his company, Steelhead Alley Outfitters. The demand for many of his patterns has surpassed the supply. Because of this, he has generously written a step-by-step how-to guide to tying your own flies.

Modern Steelhead and Salmon Flies highlights 35 of the author's signature and proven steelhead flies used across the Great Lakes, Pacific North West, Canada, Alaska, and also Atlantic salmon and Lake Run Browns. It taps into and keeps up with today's current and growing synthetic material market. Each fly design offers a visual and stimulating guide through high-resolution and complete step-by-step photography.

Modern Steelhead and Salmon Flies will teach you how to work with synthetic materials, including the use of shanks, heavy wire, fish skulls, and fish masks, synthetic hackles and hair, new-age flash, while also incorporating beads/metal components. It covers forming and using new epoxy techniques, Copic airbrushing and dying techniques, and a host of signature synthetic fibres and dubbings. With these new skills, the potential and creative possibilities of each fly-tying project will be greatly increased, while still maintaining traditional fly-tying disciplines.
