Condition: new. ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (New, Paperback, 2005). 2005 1st edition. Spiral-bound red pictorial card covers. Ppiv,67. B/w line illustrations. Mint new copy. Donald Downs has been expertly tying flies for many years. Designed rather in the manner of Alfred Wainwright's famous fell-walking guides, this attractive facsimile of a handwritten notebook gives excellent drawings and step by step instructions. It will be invaluable to all fly-tyers for its practical content, and no doubt treasured in years to come, simply for its thoroughly satisfying appearance. Downs learned fly dressing from Geoffrey Bucknall and illustrated several books for him. He also worked with John Veniard, illustrating his books and tying flies in demonstrations with him. "In this book I aim to introduce a new technique with each fly - and enough flies to cover the minimum throughout the season." "This book is intended for those who feel that trout fly dressing is difficult [and] for anglers who dress one or two flies - and would like to dress a few more. It therefore looks at [the particular] techniques in some detail." Downs kept sketches of every fly pattern he ever tied, and the selection of flies in this book is compiled from these.

ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 1995). 1995 1st edition. 4to (194 x 252mm). Ppiii,176. Colour and b/w photographs. Black boards, spine titled in gilt. Minor faults. Good-plus in slightly used dust-wrapper. "Salmon can provide a fisherman with his finest sport, and there are few anglers who have not dreamt of catching a prime specimen of this king of fish. However, few anglers are able to fish exclusively (or perhaps at all) on the classic salmon rivers such as the Dee and the Spey. Most will rely on smaller rivers and spate streams for their sport, and these can be every bit as rewarding. Alexander Baird Keachie shows how every angler can be a successful salmon fisherman, no matter what type of water he is fishing on." A useful book centred around the idea of affordable salmon fishing. The author looks at tackle, flies and lures, how to hook, play and land the fish as well as several chapters on the salmon's life-cycle and the impossible questions of when and why they take the fly. Chapters include: Salmon salar, the fish; Why do salmon take?; When do salmon take?; Salmon lies, the comfort factor; Clothing and accessories; Fly fishing tackle, choice and preparation; Salmon flies: facts and fancies; Casting with the double-handed rod; Tackling runners and resters; Fly fishing with a floating line; Dibbling for salmon; Nymphing for salmon; The dropped-back dropper; Bombers, dollies and skated tubes; Fishing with a sinking line; Backing up; The stripped fly; Microflies; Hooking, playing and landing; Spinning tackle; Secrets of successful spinning; A fish from the Spey; A day on the Stinchar. .…
