First edition of this guide to fly fishing, covering everything from equipment and techniques to the different types of fish that can be caught. Octavo, bound in half morocco over cloth covered boards with gilt titles to the spine, frontispiece, with colored plates representing about forty of the most useful flies. In very good condition.
Fly fishing is a method of angling in which fish are caught using an artificial “fly” cast with a weighted line and specialized rod, emphasizing precision, timing, and the controlled imitation of insect life. Beyond its technical demands—casting mechanics, reading currents, and matching local hatches—fly fishing has developed a distinct cultural tradition in which skill is framed as attentiveness to ecology and restraint toward the natural world.
