The Art of the Trout Fly

With stunning macrophotography on every page, this coffee-table masterpiece from expert fly tyer Lucas Utrera, creator of Utrera Fly Tying, brings artistry to angling in a luxurious package with gold foil details.

Fly tying is where angling and art meet, requiring both function and beauty, a traditional practice that has shaped the history of fly fishing.

Umpqua signature fly tyer Lucas Utrera uses design and art principles—such as color theory, form, symmetry, and the golden ratio—to push the boundaries of traditional fly tying.

Balancing innovation and tradition, The Art of the Trout Fly showcases Utrera’s most unique flies, including the biot wing caddis, the vicolor melted glue ant, and the parachute emerger. With stunning macrophotography, clear descriptions, and complete material lists for each fly, this collection celebrates beauty in the simplest forms.

More than an instruction manual, it’s a coffee table keepsake with gold foil details that will captivate anglers and art lovers alike.
