hardcover. Condizione: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Colour plates of flies, b/w photographs, illustrations by Aideen Canning. Green boards, spine titled in gilt. Gift inscription to end-paper, but a very good copy in dust-wrapper. Anecdotes and experience from thirty years of fly-fishing and fly-dressing. "Drawing on a long experience of fly fishing all over Britain and Western Europe, the author seeks to return the angler to an earlier age when it was accepted that a basic fly fishing technique could be applied to catch any species of game fish in any environment. The result is a fascinating excursion from one end of Britain to the other, from distant Shetland to the sea-trout rivers of the West Country, and from a mountain torrent in Austria to a lazy chalk stream in Normandy. He explains how common sense and application of observation and technique can overcome the unfamiliarity of the stranger and match the advantages enjoyed by the local experts." A nineteen-page appendix gives a classified list of fly patterns relevant to discussions elsewhere in the book, with some comments about their origins and uses; "I have grouped together the flies I have used according to their type, and not by the book's sections. I have not repeated standard dressings of popular flies which are in all text books, but I list rarer patterns, innovations and variations which, I hope, will add to your angling success." Chapters include: An early start; The structure of the fly; In the footsteps of Halford; Nymph fishing on rain-fed rivers; Border fishing; Fishing the 'big-cow'; Where the wind rules; Blagdon and after; Two lakes and innocence; When seven stars shine; In the footsteps of George Kelson; Fashions and flies; My salmon way; Beck and call. .
