Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes you on a journey into the heart of fly fishing, exploring its techniques, joys, and philosophical underpinnings. The author, a passionate and experienced angler, delves into the specific art of dry fly fishing, painting vivid pictures of idyllic days spent on the Test and Itchen rivers during the peak season of May and June. Beyond mere instruction, the book delves into the evolution of fly fishing literature, contrasting the classic approach of Walton with the more scientific perspective of later writers. It emphasizes the importance of observation, self-control, and a deep appreciation for the natural world, qualities that elevate angling beyond mere sport and into a realm of deep personal fulfillment. Ultimately, this book reveals fly fishing as a gateway to a richer understanding of nature, oneself, and the delicate balance between action and contemplation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781440070112_0

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Excerpt from Fly Fishing Numerous pens have been engaged dur ing the last few years on the subject of y fishing, but the editors feel sure that the volume by Sir Edward Grey, with which the Haddon Hall Library opens, will not be re garded by anglers as superuous. Gardens and gardening, too, are to be treated of, and will again receive the attention of one who has never yet failed to enrich English literature when he has taken up his pen to write on the well-loved theme.

Excerpt from Fly FishingIn bringing the Haddon Hall Library to the notice of the public, an explanation from me of its scope and aims would seem necessary.
