Classic Salmon Flies

Classic Salmon Flies: The Francis Francis collection. By James Waltham.

Here is a book which will delight salmon fishermen and fly-tyers everywhere. James Waltham has taken that part of the Francis Francis classic, Book on Angling (1867), which dealt with salmon fishing and, by judicious editing, has made it accessible and relevant to the needs of today's anglers.

For the fly-tyer there is a rich treasury of traditional dressings, some of which have remained popular to this day while others have been undeservedly forgotten. Perhaps there is a real killer here waiting to be rediscovered and put into action! The order of presentation of the flies is also an aid to use, in that the main part of the book is divided into chapters on Scottish rivers, Irish rivers and loughs, and on Welsh and English river.
