Chiloquin, Oregon. Privately published (Published by the late Paul Pursell, who also designed the book and did the art work). 1988. First Edition. Octavo (9 x 6). 105 pp. Signed by Frank Mele on the half-title and signed by Nick Lyons at the conclusion of his Introduction. Photo frontispiece of the author. Text drawings. Interesting stories which harken back to a time when fly fishermen were unencumbered in the ways of titanium fly reels and $750 graphite rods. Sweet indeed. A scarce book, as I recall Paul saying about 75 copies of the first edition were published. The book is bound in green cloth with gilt titles on the spine and front cover. Pictorial dust jacket. Fine in a near fine dust jacket.
