Originally published in 1898. The well illustrated contents contain much detailed advice on: The Exact Imitation Theory - On Hooks - On Materials - Dyeing, Bleaching etc - How to Dress a Wet Fly - How to Dress a Dry Fly - Observations and Hints etc. Many of the earliest fishing books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Home Farm Books are republishing many of these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
