About this Item
Full green faux leather with spine titles & cover decoration in gilt; 4to; 168pp; illustrated with b/w & color photos, maps, drawings and many reproductions after color paintings by Roger McPhail; sewn-in ribbon bookmark; plain green cloth-covered slipcase. According to Wiki: "The Piscatorial Society is one of the oldest angling societies in England, if not the world. It was founded in 1836 and still flourishes today. It leases fly fishing water on a number of chalk streams in Hampshire and Wiltshire, including the Wylye, the Test, the Itchen and the Hampshire Avon. It no longer has a base in London, but maintains a Rod Room on one of its Wiltshire rivers. Although members originally fished for all sorts of fish (the society's crest still represents the head of a pike), the society now concentrates on fishing for brown trout and grayling with upstream dry fly or unweighted nymph imitations dressed lightly in the style of G. E. M. Skues." To my knowledge, this is their 3rd publication. This copy essentially fine in slipcase with a small spot (publisher's ink?) on verso of marbled front endpaper. Seller Inventory # 004950
