ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 2017). 2017 1st edition. Large heavy 4to (222 x 287mm). Ppxxviii,360. Superb colour photographs and fly plates throughout. Red cloth, spine titled in gilt. I have a few copies in which the print on one or two pages is rather heavy. This does not detract from the book - still a fine unread copy. A history and catalogue of the 695 pattern salmon flies of C. Farlow and Co., 1870-1964, that is the actual flies that they kept as reference patterns for their tyers, illustrating and recording many previously unknown or unidentified patterns. There are flies for England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland, as well as Norway and Canada, collected from a variety of sources. More particularly, there are important ranges of flies for certain rivers, notably the Spey, Wye, and Usk, as well as a large number for Ireland. While many were tied by Farlows themselves as pattern examples, there are others, supplied by their customers, from different fly-makers, some of which have clearly had hard use. Most of the flies date from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and are a testament to the skill with which the professional fly-tiers of that time turned out beautifully dressed flies in their thousands. A number of the flies are associated with famous names, such as Kelson, Pryce-Tannatt, and Crosfield, and may be from their own hands. The book also contains reproductions of colour plates of salmon flies originally included in Farlows catalogues, as well as a comprehensive summary of the flies listed in them from 1888 to 1914. "A must-have for any fly-tyer or collector, truly superb and will help the collector identify their 'unknowns' and tyers to understand the correct style. The illustrations are of hundreds of original flies! It also contains some fascinating history of the flies and originators." (Colin Innes - author of The Lost Salmon Flies of Balmoral). .

Condition: new. ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (New, Hardcover, 2019). 2019 1st edition. Large heavy 4to (225 x 287mm). Ppxxxiv,630. Superb colour photographs and fly plates throughout. Red cloth, spine titled in gilt. Fine new copy in dust-wrapper, with signature label signed by the author. This book contains over 1,000 salmon fly dressings, all of which are associated with the Hardy's fly shop between 1883 and 1969. They include many which are taken from the fly shop pattern box and notebooks kept by the salmon fly dressers, and some of these may not be recorded elsewhere. There are more than 800 colour illustrations of salmon flies, many of which are the product of the fly shop, some of which are patterns given to Hardy's to copy, and some of which are originals from the hands of Kelson and Pryce-Tannatt, as well as more recent fly dressers including Megan Boyd. As might be expected, given the large number of countries in which Hardy's had agents and customers, there are dressings for England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Canada, the USA, Iceland, and Norway, and many of the flies are associated with particular rivers, such as the Spey, Tay, Helmsdale, Wye, Usk, Hampshire Avon, and others. There are also some colour illustrations of sample materials intended for particular flies, reproductions of plates from catalogues, and a comprehensive list of all the salmon flies listed in catalogues from 1883 until 1969. "There are many references in the surviving fly shop paperwork to the 'pattern box'. There is no current memory of how this worked in practice, but it will no doubt have been something like the Farlows pattern books, and kept in the charge of the fly shop foreman. If it was still a complete and undisturbed archive it would be priceless, but its contents were dispersed after the closure of the fly shop. Fortunately quite a bit of it has survived, though it is now in different hands, and so it has been possible to put together a partial reconstruction. In some ways this exercise was a bit like trying to make sense of the Farlows pattern books, as over the years there had clearly been some muddling up, as well as some bad handwriting and copying, and pieces of information relating to the same fly had been separated, but there are hundreds of envelopes, pattern flies, handwritten dressings, notes from customers, and even sample materials, relating to over six hundred flies, though some of these are trout flies. Whereas in the case of Farlows there were plenty of flies, but virtually no paperwork, in this case there is plenty of paperwork, but far fewer flies. Chapters include: Introduction; Baden-Powell patterns; Doctors; Dry flies; Eagles; Esmond Drury flies; Flies for Canada and the USA; Other North American flies; Flies for Finland; Fly brooches; Grubs, shrimps, and prawns; Hookless flies; Improved Halcyons; Irish flies in the special catalogue lists; Other Irish flies; Kelson's new salmon flies; W.H.
