"Man has been fishing for trout and salmon with the fly since the time of the Ancient Greeks. Devising more ingenious methods of doing so, his rods, reels, lines and flies have evolved in fascinating ways. With a delightful blend of wit and erudition, Conrad Voss Bark tells the story of flyfishing, from the Macedonian 'plumes' of old to the hairwing streamers of today. He spotlights the sport's formative protagonists - Juliana Berners, Robert Venables, Isaak Walton, Charles Cotton, Alfred Ronalds, George Kelson, J.C. Mottram, Dr Bell, and many others, using his journalist's skills to appraise the prevailing dogmas, the breakthroughs in tackle and to re-live the great debates and controversies, including the famous Skues-Halford dispute. Throughout, flyfishing is seen against the broader canvas of the changing times in Britain, Ireland and North America. Today there are new forces which are shaping flyfishing history: water pollution, drift netting, over-kill, timeshare, catch-and-release and the explosion of new materials from which tackle and flies are made. Not since Waller-Hills' classic History of Fishing for Trout of 1921, has a broad survey of this fascinating sport been tackled with such individual style and verve." Chapters include:- The Macedonian method; Wyngis of the Pertryche; Cromwell's general; Cotton, Walton and Barker; The Ludlow doctor; Points of departure; The arrival of Ronalds; Butterflies for salmon; Springs and origins; The dry fly; Halford; Branche line; Reservoirs of poison; The nymph men; Bell's bugs; The legitimate method; The American influence; Return of the plume; A change of flies; The time of our lives.

B/w photographs, sketch maps, brief bibliography, photograph end-papers. Blue boards, spine titled in gilt. Corner rather bumped but very good in very slightly spine-faded dust-wrapper. A very good introduction to wildfowling for duck. "Wildfowling is a sport for the dedicated: it takes place at dawn and dusk, often in the depths of winter; it is a largely solitary pursuit (a working dog is often the only companion) and it requires knowledge of each species (for identification purposes) often in poor light and bad weather. This is the first book for many years to focus exclusively on duck shooting and it will appeal to ornithologists, conservationists and those who shoot duck." Douglas Butler is a Tipperary farmer, zoologist and avid wildfowler who gives the reader the benefit of a lifetime's experience and study.
