Slight use but good copy in used and faded dust-wrapper.

This is the revised and enlarged edition of the book he wrote to fill the gap. Chapters include: Reservoirs and opportunities for trout fishing; The trout we hope to catch; Tackle, clothing and other equipment; Elementary casting and line control; Flies and ways of fishing them; Fishermen and fishing methods; Some chances for success; Six patterns for a season. Appendices discuss useful books, where to find information, and, associations deserving of an angler's support. .

Slight browning to edges but very good in slightly faded dust-wrapper. Veniard and Downs "started their monthly Fly Tyers' Forum articles in Trout and Salmon magazine in February 1970, in which they sought the ideas of amateur fly dressers. The response was tremendous, and from the first 14 Forum articles came the book Fly Tying Development and Progress. A further collection of articles was adapted to make the present book, and in this second edition more contributions have been included."

Condizione: New. (Hardcover, 1970). (1970) 1979 reprint. 4to (189 x 250mm). Pp184. Colour plates of flies, plain plates, illustrations by Donald Downs. Brown boards, spine titled in gilt. Slight shelf-wear but a fine (new and unread) copy in dust-wrapper. "A particular feature of flies for still water is that it is necessary to know not only how to dress them but how to fish them and it is here that this book will be especially useful, since in addition to the chapters by John Veniard, who is generally acknowledged as an able angler and a wonderful fly-tier, there are contributions on dressings and fishing techniques by such famous names as Richard Walker, Geoffrey Bucknall and David Collyer, among others. Many of the dressings have not been recorded elsewhere and include flies that have become highly successful on lakes abroad - particularly North America and New Zealand." Many terrific lists of dressings, including: Dapping flies; The John Henderson patterns; The Geoffrey Bucknall patterns; The Richard Walker patterns; The David J. Collyer patterns; The John Goddard Stillwater patterns; The "Taffy" Price patterns; The Roy Masters patterns; Farlow's "Murderers"; Welsh patterns; Derek Moseley's Irish mayflies (for lakes); Dr. Michael Kennedy's sedge flies and pupa dressings; A.J. Hayter midge pupa dressings; Terry Thomas sedge flies; the A.C.R. Howman ("Alastair Ross") nymphs; New Zealand lake patterns - plus sections on individual patterns such as Alec Iles' "Breatherlizer," the Polystickle and others. .

(Hardcover, 1970). (1952) 1970 4th edition, 1979 reprint. 4to (188 x 252mm). Pp256. Colour plates, b/w illustrations. Red cloth, spine titled in gilt. Slight marks and browning to edges. Good-plus in dust-wrapper. The first, and still probably the best, of the great fly-tying compendiums. John Veniard drew on the resources of his previously published booklets, and his vast experience of fly-tying, to produce a work that would remain the standard for many years. It is worth noting that besides flies for salmon, trout and grayling, this book includes many patterns for coarse species; pike, perch, chub, dace, roach and rudd, as well as a section on flies for saltwater angling. Contents include: Tools; Hooks; Silks; Tinsels; Dyeing; Materials for trout flies; Dressing flies for trout fishing; Trout fly dressing - dry flies; Trout fly patterns - dry flies; Trout fly dressing - wet flies; Trout fly patterns - wet flies; Hair wing flies; Streamer flies; Flies for sea fishing; Flies for pike and perch; Flies for grayling; Flies for chub, dace, roach and rudd; Fly dressing materials - salmon flies; Dressing flies for salmon fishing; Salmon flies - standard patterns; Salmon flies - low water small summer patterns; Salmon flies - Dee strip wing patterns; Salmon flies - Spey patterns; Salmon flies - Irish patterns; Salmon flies - hair wing patterns; Salmon flies - grubs and dry fly patterns; Salmon flies - shrimps; Salmon flies - lures; Salmon flies - tube flies; Two indices - one to fly tying and materials, and one to fly patterns. .

(Hardcover, 1979 ). (1958) 1979 2nd edition reprint. 8vo (141 x 222mm). Pp272. Line drawings. Green boards, spine titled in gilt. Slight use, usual page browning. Good-plus in dust-wrapper. "Frank Sawyer is well known as the keeper on a famous stretch of the Wiltshire Avon. He is also author, naturalist, broadcaster, and one of the very few people able to catch trout to the order of a television team. The result of forty years' close observation and constant practice is here set out in the most thorough, informative, and attractive manner." (Anglers' Annual 1958). This key book in the evolution of chalkstream flyfishing for trout and grayling also includes a chapter on "Lesser Quarry," on nymph fishing for chub, dace and roach; on "Experiments With Salmon"; and on "Still Waters"; and, of course, on river keeping. The second edition was completely revised and rewritten to take into account a further ten years' observation and practice with the upstream nymph. It is a great deal longer and also includes chapters on Chew and Blagdon, on fishing in Cornwall, Northern Ireland, Wales, Scotland and Bavaria. However, it had fewer photographs than the first edition. The 1979 and 1981 reprints of the second edition used inferior materials to the 1974 and 1977 reprints, and the photographs were omitted entirely. Although they have A. & C. Black dust-wrappers and prices, and carry the same ISBN, I wonder if these printings may have been produced mainly for sale through the book clubs. .
