Flies pages include many patterns invented by Ally such as Ally's Shrimp (voted "Salmon Fly of the Millennium" by readers of EMAP publications), Cascade, Yellow Ally's and other salmon flies that have proven themselves over the years. Various types of salmon flies including some very old examples and many excellent trout fly patterns are pictured. Photography gives a glimpse of some of the extensive library of fishing pictures available covering most aspects of salmon and trout fly fishing, casting, rivers and lakes in various countries.
