Learn to combine modern and traditional fly tying styles and tie like the best in the business.

Pull up a chair to your tying desk and settle in, because you're likely to find yourself out of your comfort zone as Greg takes you step-by-step through 36 of his signature and proven fly patterns, all of which have their own twist on convention. The methods you'll learn along the way will stay with you long after mastering the flies in this book and improve your results for years to come. 

"I was no longer satisfied with simplistic or conformist methods of how we should dress a fly. The past decade has seen an astronomical amount of new, exciting, and functional fly tying materials and components... My intent with Fusion Fly Tying is to encourage you to experiment, steer you toward adapting new materials, meld modern and traditional styles, and hopefully see new innovations develop from the jaws of your own vise."
-Greg Senyo

Many of the patterns you'll tie in Fusion Fly Tying use Fish-Skull®  fly tying materials such as Senyo's Articulated Shank for steelhead and salmon flies™ (all colors and sizes), the Articulated Fish-Spine™ (all sizes, we recommend getting the starter pack), the Fish-Mask™ (sizes #5, #7), and Living Eyes™ (3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm).

  • Greg Senyo is a product designer and the owner of Steelhead Alley Outfitters, an inclusive, educational fly fishing guide service on the Lake Erie tributaries. He received the Orvis Fly Tier of the Year Award in 2008 and continues to question and expand the limits of fly tying. 
  • "His creations are deceptively simple masterpieces that fuse tradition with progressive genius... [Senyo] has adapted an amazing approach to presenting the fly for steelhead and salmon from the Great Lakes to any destination in the entire world where you may find such fish."
    -Matthew Supinski, author of Steelhead Dreams: The Theory, Method, Science and Madness of Steelhead Fly Fishing

    "In Greg's patterns there's color, flash, and vision. Moreover, there's a completeness, a unity that comes from an attentiveness to detail that transcends their role as fish-catching tools."
    -Dave Karczynski, Midcurrent
