Guide to Salmon Flies

With almost 400 salmon flies from the major countries where salmon are to be found, A Guide to Salmon Flies is a most comprehensive source book. The dressing for each fly is given in detail with information on its use, its history or its design, with an accompanying colour photograph. The book includes historic and classic flies as well as modern patterns and dressings; the flies used in North America and several European countries; dibbling, wake flies, droppers and loch flies; dry flies; nymphs; and grubs, shrimps and Waddingtons. Also, the individual styles of some well-known fly tyers are detailed. AUTHOR: Arthur Oglesby spent nearly forty years pursuing salmon, sea trout and other game fish, primarily in Scotland but also in Norway and Alaska. He contributed countless articles to angling journals and for many years was the Chief Instructor at the longest established fishing school in Britain, based in Grantown-on-Spey. 47 colour plates
