Add to basketCondition: new. ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 1952). 1952 1st edition. Small 8vo (125 x 190mm). Pp158. B/w illustrations. Blue boards, spine titled in black. Slight use, foxing to end-papers and edges, good. Dust-wrapper remnant laid in. Threadline tactics, for all f…reshwater and estuarine species, throughout the year. "For the first time, Wanless shows how to apply the threadline method to such fish as pike, perch and grayling. In addition he deals in detail with at least one entirely new threadline way of catching trout in lakes, lochs, loughs and reservoirs, when they are not to be taken on the surface or mid-water but must be sought on the bottom where they are feeding. .The book also discusses, though necessarily tentatively, the significance and importance of the arrival of German monofilament lines of greater strength than other makes." Chapters include: Ringing the changes; Dancing minnow; Spoons and plugs; Winter's darling; Ways with grayling; Enter Mr. Salmon; March trout; Wonderful April; Showing the fly to salmon; Baits, natural, artificial; Fly fishers' month; Merry May; Larvae fishing in lochs; Leafy June on the river; Early daddy; Mysteries of night fishing; Estuary fishing; More about estuaries; And still more; Sea trout by night and day; Welcome, Lammasmen!; King daddy; All round September; New ways in October. .

B/w line illustrations. Blue cloth, spine titled in gilt. Minor faults (owner's inscroption/foxing), cloth faded and used but good. Lacks dust-wrapper. "When Light…Line Fly Fishing for Salmon, and, Thread Line Fishing for Trout and Sea Trout were written, these methods were in process of development. Various improvements are recorded here, especially a new way of casting which counters weakening of the line, thus making the use of a collar unnecessary and leading to simplification and greater accuracy in casting. The author regards this improvement as being one of the most important since he worked out the modern way of spinning with thin lines, light rods and small hooks in the 'twenties." Wanless presents his thoughts in short articles listed alphabetically. This is Wanless's thirteenth book. .
