Very good second-hand copy in slightly spine faded dust-wrapper. "A personal account of the angling affliction." Worldwide fishing adventures, mostly set in Africa and South America.

Harry describes his adventures with charm, modesty and style."

Condizione: new. Gathercole, Peter (illustratore). (Paperback, 1994). (1992) 1994 paperback edition. 8vo paperback. Ppxvi,194,ads. Colour plates of flies, photographs, illustrations, bibliography. Fine new copy. "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. Appendices include:- The Roman plume; The Treatyse; The Venables text; Charles Cotton's flies; Scotcher of Chepstow; Alfred Ronalds; George Pulman and the dry fly; The upstream wet fly; Kelson's salmon flies; The dry and the floating fly; G.E.M. Skues; H.S. Hall and the dry fly; Dr. H. Bell. PREVIOUS PRICE £12.95.

(Hardcover, 1996). 1996 1st edition. 8vo (160 x 240mm). Ppviii,114 + 2pp ads. Colour plates of flies, b/w photographs and illustrations, bibliography. Brown cloth, spine titled in gilt. Minor faults. Good-plus in dust-wrapper. An in-depth look at the history and design of the dry fly. "The dry fly has long presented a design challenge to the angler. In the early 1900s, the best fishing minds, most prominently Halford, applied themselves to creating perfect replicas of the natural insect which would sit high on the water surface. Then came Colonel Harding and his watertank. This lead to the theory that trout do not see flies as we do: therefore dry flies should be tied to create the right impression, as seen from a trout's underwater perspective. Men like Halford, Harding, Skues, Lunn, Marinaro, Wulff - and more recently Goddard, Clarke, Patterson and Jorgensen - these men and many others have introduced significant changes to the way we tie flies and to our understanding of how trout perceive them. In this book Conrad Voss Bark reveals the turbulent development of the dry fly throughout the twentieth century. In his usual lively and incisive style, he brings an important aspect of angling history to life." Chapters include: The Looking Glass World; Ghost wings; The Impressionists - Adams, Bi-Visible, Blue-Winged Olive, Caenis, Cul de Canard, Daddy Longlegs, Funneldun, Gold-Ribbed Hare's Ear, Greenwell, Humpy, Iron Blue, Lane's emerger, Leckford Olive Dun, Lunn's Particular, The Big Mayfly, Microflies, Midges, Olive Quill, parachute flies, Peacock, Pheasant Tail, Poult Bloa, Red Quill, Sedge and Caddis flies, Sparkel Dun, Sparkle Spinner, Super Grizzly Emerger, Terry's Terror, Threlfall, upside-down flies, Wylye Terror; Six of the best. An Appendix, Successful Itchen Flies, lists about six-dozen flies compared in a practical test, "Roy Darlington carried out an analysis of the successful flies for the 1994 season at the Abbots Barton fishery of the Itchen. The Adams comes first, followed by the Greenwell and Slue's Little Red Sedge." The number of trout caught with each pattern during the experiment is given, along with the percentage of the total catch this represents. .

The author "writes with forthright enthusiasm .the gundogs, the approach to different sports, the behaviour of the birds, the methods - all coloured by his lively knowledge of the history of Irish game shooting and his modern specialist knowledge of the quarry". "For those who shoot game in Ireland, the sporting opportunities are many and varied. there are the challenges of snipe in the marshes and wet pasturelands; woodcock in the forests and scrubland; grouse on the heather uplands and pheasants and wood pigeon in all the counties. Vast flocks of golden plover descend on the country as autumn progresses." "Mallard, wigeon, teal, shoveller and many other speices of duck abound on Ireland's loughs, bogs and marshlands. With so many game birds about, it is hardly surprising that game shooting is a popular sport throughout the country." Chapters include: Of game birds and seasons; A wild goose story; Waiting for the season to open; September at last; October - the month of migration; November - the month of the pheasant; December - the month the woodcock; The fickle month of January; The years to come. .
