This book gives "an historical review of our knowledge of salmon. It briefly looks back to the times of Izaak Walton and Sir Walter Scott when various theories concerning the parr and smolt were raised as to whether or not they were the young of salmon. It follows on to record the experiments of Brown who reared and released parr and smolts on the Tay and confirmed them to be the young of salmon. The work of the early salmon biologists such as Calderwood, Menzies and Malloch is documented and leads us on to more recent investigations that require teamwork due to the effects on the freshwater environment of agriculture and industry. In this way more knowledge is accumulated and benefits further research and conservation, the results of which are discussed. The outcome of symposia and conferences are described and it is evident over time that the research was increasingly being centred towards the marine environment, particularly in Norwegian, Faroese and Greenland waters. The decline in salmon stocks leads to international concern through conservation organisations such as NASCO and the Atlantic Salmon Trust and it becomes obvious that conservation limits and stricter controls on exploitation are required." .…

"If, as a fly fisherman, you wish to understand your quarry and its instinct with more insight you must understand fish vision, for this is the primary sense fish use to hunt their prey. Such knowledge will allow the fisherman greater understanding of how the the fish sees its world and consequently how he should modify his fishing tactics. This book will give the fly fisher a greater insight into the visual environment of the trout by presenting facts and theories not found in other publications on this subject. Although the text is based on scientific aspects of fish vision it is written with the intention of making the subject readily understood by the layman. The book is comprehensively illustrated with coloured diagrams aimed at making the text more easily digested. After reading this book any fly fisherman should be able to fish with a new understanding of his quarry and so increase his chances of the delights of more tight lines!" PREVIOUS PRICE GBP 20.00.…

Pictorial card covers with flaps. Edition limited to 250 numbered copies. Fine new copy. D.A.N. Asterley (known, of course, as Dan) was the headmaster of a private school in the Worcestershire countryside. His passion was trout fishing, and although he also fished further afield, the place dearest to his heart was "The Brook" - the Leigh Brook, a tributary of the river Teme near Malvern. Dan was a thinking angler and, to our good fortune, he put his thoughts to paper - on the habits and ecology of the trout; the natural flies of the Brook, and the fly-patterns he tied to represent them; his small-stream tactics of dibbing and stalking; and the antics of his fishing-dog, Smuggler. Dan's writing is honest and refreshing, conveying his love of the countryside, and with much useful lore for the flyfisher. Volume Eleven of Coch-y-Bonddu Books Angling Monographs Series.

Colour and b/w photographs, illustrations & maps. Pictorial card covers with flaps. Fine new copy. Bookplate signed by the author. Second edition with minor revisions. In 1880 John Michie went to work as a forester on Queen Victoria's estate at Balmoral on the banks of the Aberdeenshire Dee, eventually rising through the ranks to become the Factor. He kept detailed diaries and, as a keen salmon fly fisherman and fly dresser, he frequently described his fishing exploits on the Dee, as well as his fishing companions and his successful flies. Colin Innes gives us a short history of Balmoral, its royal connections, and its fishing; then, to put John Michie's flies into context, he explains the styles of salmon flies used on the Dee at that time: the Eagles, low water flies and the Dee style strip wings. Using the diary extracts, Colin tells us about the fly patterns that Michie used, both previously-known and unique patterns. Illustrated with photographs of original vintage flies, and of modern interpretations tied by Eddie Kublin. Volume Two of Coch-y-Bonddu Books Angling Monographs Series. .…

James Harper was the proprietor of the famous fishing tackle firm of William Brown of Aberdeen from 1901 to 1945, and during this time he kept detailed records of the 200 or so salmon fly patterns that the firm produced. The patterns come from many sources, some are well-known, some are variants of known patterns, some have previously only been known by their name, and some never been heard of before. The collection is particularly strong on Spey and Irish flies. In this book Colin Innes sets the scene with a tale of how the pattern list was "re-discovered, then goes on to give an entertaining and sometimes surprising history of the firm of William Brown and it's owners before revealing the list of patterns. Where possible the fly patterns have been illustrated with original vintage flies and cross-referenced with period books and tackle catalogues. . …
