London. John Van Voorst, 1, Paternoster Row. 1851. First edition. [v], vi-viii, [1] 2-74 pp. including appendix. Six plates, with five brilliantly hand-coloured showing flies designed to imitate bait-fish and to attract Sea Trout, Pollack, Pike, Salmon, Trout and Grayling; they're "full size," as the author describes them. There's a black and white plate showing how to arrange terminal tackle. The book is notable because it's the first work published about fly fishing in salt water. But no doubt fly fishing in the salt was done long before - it's likely one of Caligula's centurions, standing on the northern coast of Gaul after gathering seashells in 40 CE, slung his hair fly in the surf for pollack or trout; it's just that Aelian wasn't there to record it. Bowden-Smith describes fly fishing in the coastal waters of Ireland, England, Norway, and Nova Scotia. He gives detailed instructions on how to dress each fly pattern and the materials needed to accomplish it. And if you're so inclined, there are precise instructions on how to dye some of the materials. The book is bound in contemporary brown morocco and marbled boards with gilt titles on the spine. There is light rubbing to the binding. The text and the plates are fine and clean. A very good book.…

Shipping terms
Orders usually ship within 2 business days. Shipping costs are based on books weighing 2.2 LB, or 1 KG. If your book order is heavy or oversized, we may contact you to let you know extra shipping is required. My chosen shipping option is the U. S. Postal Service. USPS is the best in terms of service and cost efficiency ¿ even though recent overseas rates, effective January 2013, have skyrocketed. USPS requires mails sent overseas and Canada can ONLY be sent by AIRMAIL. Charged at actual cost. Other overseas shipping options are available, such as UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc.; however, they are frightfully expensive.
