Barry Ord Clarke will be attending the British Fly Fair International 2023 on the 11th and 12th February, doing live flytying demonstrations on the @veniardltd stand.

Copies of his books, Flytying for beginners and The Feather Benders Flytying Techniques can be signed for you by Barry Ord Clarke. 

In the words of Martin Joergensen

‘Compared to many other and older books aimed at beginners, this title takes things a notch higher and embraces a modern, good looking and very functional book design as well as the online world.’ ‘If I’m to recommend one beginner’s book in the future, this will very likely be it. And I’ll back that up with a Global Class rating.’

‘Barry is not just any fly tyer, but a fly tyer who is known to be able to convey his skills and knowledge both online and in print. And he does this to great extent in this book.’ ‘There are clear step-by-step instructions for all the patterns. The flies and the tying is of course impeccable with everything clearly visible and very neatly tied.’
