The Truth About Trout Flies – Tying the Basic Collection | Tony Sloane | 1986 [USED – SC – Out of Print]

A practical guide to tying the fly patterns that form a basic collection for Tasmanian trout fishing conditions, written by Tony Sloane and published in 1986.

At 55 pages this is a compact, practical booklet rather than a comprehensive reference — focused specifically on the core patterns a Tasmanian fly fisher needs rather than attempting to cover the whole of fly tying. Sloane writes from direct Tasmanian experience and the patterns he covers are suited to the highland lakes and rivers of the Central Plateau.

Out of print since 1986 and genuinely hard to find. A copy in good condition is a useful addition to a Tasmanian fly fishing reference collection.
