Condition: new. ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (New, Hardcover, 2009). 2009 1st edition thus. 16mo (105 x 159mm). Ppxiv,160. B/w line illustrations, new bibliography, black, decoratively grained end-papers. Powder-blue, decoratively grained paper-covered boards, spine titled in gilt. Sli…ght shelf-wear but a fine new unread copy in dust-wrapper. Carefully selected excerpts from Mottram's "Fly-fishing: Some New Arts and Mysteries," widely regarded as one of the most innovative fishing books ever written. Mottram was a radiologist. His scientific training gave him great advantages as an investigative trout angler. His fly patterns for nymphs, smuts and "silhouette" duns were years ahead of their time. These patterns date from pre-1915! Mottram's book delves in some depth into all corners of the art of flyfishing and remains as important today as it was ninety years ago. This abridgement retains Mottram's highly amusing chapter "In 2014," where fish of the future are cossetted in highly regulated artificial fisheries and caught and released by anglers who know them individually by names such as 'Brown Beauty.' This of course could never happen in real life! A well-designed and nicely presented new edition which provides an excellent preliminary to further exploration of James Mottram's work. PREVIOUS PRICE GBP 12.95.

Gilt decorated bonded-leather binding, illustrations, ads. Issued without a dust-wrapper. Very good. Un-numbered out-of-series copy. Volume X…XI of the "new" Derrydale Press "Fisherman's Gold" series. ".has been described as "one of the twelve peaks of angling progress", the great sleeper among British angling literature. Gingrich (The Fishing in Print) says: "I had come to think of him as the completely unsung genius of English angling literature. I consider Some New Arts and Mysteries one of the most innovative fishing books ever written." Mottram was a radiologist. His scientific training gave him great advantages as an investigative trout angler. His fly patterns for nymphs, smuts and "silhouette" duns were years ahead of their time. These patterns date from pre-1915! In his Introduction, Mottram suggests the different types of fisherman he is addressing: "For the hunter, there is much of practice, therecord of many facts, the outcome of many experiments. Chapters on optics, mechanics, and the colour-sense of fish will, it is hoped, interest the scientific. For the fly-tier, there are hints on waterside fly-tying and a discourse on flies of the future. For the fish-breeder, waterweeds and the treatment of mud are discussed. The naturalist is told of birds and the habits of fish, and even the poacher will, it may be, find some things a little to his liking." This is an important book for the fly-fisherman and fly-tyer, as relevant today as it was eighty years ago. Few writings since have reached the same level of complete and articulate intelligence on the part of a master fisherman." Flyfisher's Classic Library Catalogue 2007. .

B/w photographs, text illustrations, end-paper ads. Binding B. Dark green cloth, spine & upper board titled in gilt. Slight use but a very good copy…. ".has been described as "one of the twelve peaks of angling progress", the great sleeper among British angling literature. Gingrich (The Fishing in Print) says: "I had come to think of him as the completely unsung genius of English angling literature. I consider Some New Arts and Mysteries one of the most innovative fishing books ever written." Mottram was a radiologist. His scientific training gave him great advantages as an investigative trout angler. His fly patterns for nymphs, smuts and "silhouette" duns were years ahead of their time. These patterns date from pre-1915! In his Introduction, Mottram suggests the different types of fisherman he is addressing: "For the hunter, there is much of practice, therecord of many facts, the outcome of many experiments. Chapters on optics, mechanics, and the colour-sense of fish will, it is hoped, interest the scientific. For the fly-tier, there are hints on waterside fly-tying and a discourse on flies of the future. For the fish-breeder, waterweeds and the treatment of mud are discussed. The naturalist is told of birds and the habits of fish, and even the poacher will, it may be, find some things a little to his liking." This is an important book for the fly-fisherman and fly-tyer, as relevant today as it was eighty years ago. Few writings since have reached the same level of complete and articulate intelligence on the part of a master fisherman." Flyfisher's Classic Library Catalogue 2007. .
