Condition: New. ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 1970). (1970) later reprint. 4to (189 x 250mm). Pp184. Colour plates of flies, plain plates, illustrations by Donald Downs. Green cloth, spine titled in gilt. Rather browned and used, edges of boards worn but a good copy in rather used, browned and clipped dust-wrapper. "A particular feature of flies for still water is that it is necessary to know not only how to dress them but how to fish them and it is here that this book will be especially useful, since in addition to the chapters by John Veniard, who is generally acknowledged as an able angler and a wonderful fly-tier, there are contributions on dressings and fishing techniques by such famous names as Richard Walker, Geoffrey Bucknall and David Collyer, among others. Many of the dressings have not been recorded elsewhere and include flies that have become highly successful on lakes abroad - particularly North America and New Zealand." Many terrific lists of dressings, including: Dapping flies; The John Henderson patterns; The Geoffrey Bucknall patterns; The Richard Walker patterns; The David J. Collyer patterns; The John Goddard Stillwater patterns; The "Taffy" Price patterns; The Roy Masters patterns; Farlow's "Murderers"; Welsh patterns; Derek Moseley's Irish mayflies (for lakes); Dr. Michael Kennedy's sedge flies and pupa dressings; A.J. Hayter midge pupa dressings; Terry Thomas sedge flies; the A.C.R. Howman ("Alastair Ross") nymphs; New Zealand lake patterns - plus sections on individual patterns such as Alec Iles' "Breatherlizer," the Polystickle and others. .

Blue-green boards, spine titled in gilt. Uniform browning, name and address to front end-paper. Good-plus in chipped dust-wrapper, previously taped to inner boards. First published in 1957 under the title 'Dry-Fly Beginnings'. "Dermot Wilson was the leading authority in the UK on dry fly fishing, particularly in the chalk streams. The poet Ted Hughes wrote of Wilson's book Fishing the Dry Fly: "Wherever I open it my eye alights on a paragraph that is delightful to read, and that leads on irresistibly to the next paragraph that is equally delightful and that leads on irresistibly . . . etc etc." In 1968 he set up a mail-order tackle business, the first of its kind, at Nether Wallop, Hampshire, supplying a full range of fly-fishing tackle. It gave an extraordinarily good service. If you ordered flies from Dermot Wilson, they arrived in the post next day. The company grew to employ a staff of 14, many of them friends from his Greenjacket days. In 1981, ill-health caused him to give up, and the business was sold to the US company Orvis, who still run it successfully. Wilson was for some years Chairman of the Anglers Co-operative Association, which combats pollution of the rivers. He set up the Water Resources Board of the Salmon and Trout Association. He wrote for Country Life and the Field and was a popular lecturer at fishing gatherings." (From Sidney Vines' obituary of Wilson in the Independent newspaper). .
