ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 1992). 1992 1st edition. 8vo (143mm x 224mm). Pp280,ad. Not illustrated. Bibliography. Black boards, spine titled in gilt. Bump to bottom edge of boards but clean, good-plus copy in like dust-wrapper. "Fly-fishing has one of the longest…recorded histories of any pastime, and one of the most extensive literatures. Within that written history is a unique and well-developed lexicon, consisting not only of words concerned with fish (grilse, kelt, mort) and fishing techniques (dapping, dibbling, trolling), but also of terms which reflect the way fly-fishermen have spoken and thought about the discoveries and landscapes inherited by rod and line. Included here, therefore, are words about lakes, lochs and rivers, about flies and fly-life, and about technical controversies and inventions. There is also generous illustrative quotation from the fifteenth-century Treatise of Fishing with an Angle to Walton, Cotton, Venables, Nobbes, Davy, Stewart, Grey, Halford, Skues and others, down to the present day. Important and unusual dialect words, and phrases which have passed from specialist use into wider currency, are also represented. The emphasis throughout is on the relationship between fly-fishing's language and fly-fishing's history. From ant to wet-fly, from action to whitling, this lexicon offers many curiosities and many rewards." .

Green boards, spine titled in gilt. Fine copy in dust-wrapper. "Chris McCully shares his angling exploration of the lovely Suffolk Stour valle…y, delving deep into its history, culture and ecology as he immerses himself in the landscape of his new home. Over a period of five years he comes to know and love the river, from its chalkstream-like source to its muddy estuary fifty miles away, constantly trialling different ways of going after its multiple fish species. Chris fishes for these species - including dace, chub, perch, pike, tench, bass, mullet and flounder - using methods that vary from long-trotting to fly-fishing. He also looks at the fly-life of the river and its beautiful natural habitat as well as providing a historical context to the region, with details of Constable and Gainsborough, Anne Boleyn, ancient rural churches and Anglo-Saxon fish traps." .
