Trout Fly Patterns 1496-1916: Volume two (The History of Fly Fishing) - Hardcover
The second volume in 'The History of Fly Fishing', this book lists chronologically all the famous British fly patterns by author and the many variations of each fly, alongside published tying instructions, a glossary of fly tying terms and useful information on hook scale conversions. This, together with Volume III, represents the first attempt anyone has ever made to reproduce every significant list of British fly patterns published prior to 1916. There is a full and easy to search index of all the patterns listed. Review from 'Trout & Salmon Magazine': 'Many books list fly patterns, but I know of none approaching the magnitude of this tome . . . approximately 860 patterns by 62 authors . . . The patterns . . . include tying techniques and how best to use the fly, often within a month-by-month guide . . . This is a first-class book, essential to anyone with an interest in traditional fly-dressing. There is so much to learn from it'
