Clark, a retired St. Helens High School shop teacher, de- veloped unique tying concepts using polypropylene (poly yarn) by blending his knowledge of art with his skills as a fly tier. Poly yarn is buggy, buoyant and blendable, making it the perfect material for tying effec tive fishing flies. Fly Tying With Poly Yarn includes full color step-by-step instructions, yarn foundations, body wraps, yarn shrouds, wings and more. Clark details 12 different fish- catching flies, including the Clark’s Stonefly, with patterns for imitating caddisflies and mayflies as well. The St. Helens Book Shop is located at 1550 Columbia Blvd., St. Helens.
