Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Like New. Dust Jacket Condition: Like New. FIRST EDITION. FIRST EDITION. Hardcover. Bound in blue cloth with gilt title on spine. Upstream nymph fishing has developed from the minor tactic of G. E. M. Skues into a universally-accepted method wherever fly fishermen fish for trout and grayling. The history of nymph fishing is notable for the argument between F. M. Halford, the dry-fly ultra-purist, and Skues, culminating in the debate on the legitimacy of fishing nymphs on chalk streams and the later fallout between Frank Sawyer and Major Oliver Kite. Nymph fishing was developed in England and then spread, along with nymph patterns, around the world through the writings of Skues and others and the travels of English anglers. Over the last fifty years, the English method has been adapted and developed to suit local conditions throughout the world and particularly in the United States. 194pp. pictorial dustjacket.CONDITION: Covers are unmarked. Pages are crisp and clean. Binding is tight. Dustjacket has very light rubbing. Full refund if not satisfied.

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Large paperback, size 24.5 x 19cm, in Fine condition, previous owner's label on title page. First edition, pp200, colour photographs, index. Become a Fly Fisher offers a unique approach to fly fishing for beginners. It guides the novice fly angler through every step, from buying tackle and equipment, to assembling it and then using it to successfully fish rivers and stillwaters. It will also help to demystify the sport without requiring readers to have prior knowledge and without dumbing down or pretending that anglers should expect to catch a bucketful of fish every time they go fishing! This handy guide contains a wealth of essential, practical information in clear, bite-size chunks that are suitable for amateurs. For example, knots are introduced as and where they are needed as well as being gathered together in a separate chapter where they can be easily located. The skills you need to learn and develop are also explained in a friendly and easy-to-understand way that will help you develop confidence in your craft.
