Phil has been the fly-tying columnist for B.C. Outdoors Sports Fishing magazine for over 17 years. During this time, he has featured many pattern types and styles. Stillwater Flies with Phil Rowley & Friends is a compilation of over 35 stillwater fly patterns featured in his column. The patterns within the book are a blend of his patterns and many other talented fly tyers.
As with his previous books, the patterns are broken into different categories based on the food sources trout prey upon in lakes, including chironomids, scuds, damselflies, leeches, dragonflies, mayflies (Callibaetis), and water boatmen. There is also a section dedicated to attractor patterns.
Each pattern contains a detailed narrative focused on a specific material, tying challenge, or development history, along with step-by-step tying instructions and over 250 full-color images. The book is spiral bound to provide easy access to each pattern while at the tying bench without the risk of damage.
Stillwater Flies with Phil Rowley & Friends is 9” tall and 6.6” wide and contains 154 pages.
