An important and beautifully illustrated work devoted to the art of dressing hair-wing Atlantic salmon flies, written by Keith Fulsher and Charles Krom.
Hair-Wing Atlantic Salmon Flies occupies a distinctive place in modern salmon fly literature. While the elaborate feather-wing patterns of the nineteenth century remain among the most admired creations in traditional fly dressing, the development of hair-wing flies brought a practical and highly effective alternative to the salmon angler.
Fulsher and Krom explore this tradition in considerable detail, offering clear instruction on materials, construction and the adaptation of classic feather-wing patterns into more practical hair-wing designs. Their work combines historical appreciation with the experience of anglers who dress flies to be fished.
The book contains an extensive collection of patterns, supported by six colour plates and numerous black-and-white photographs, including step-by-step illustrations of dressing techniques.
This copy is the first edition, published by Fly Tyer Inc., North Conway, New Hampshire, in 1981. The volume comprises 181 pages and is bound in blue cloth with gilt titles and decoration.
The book itself is in fine condition, retaining its original dust jacket, which shows noticeable wear.
A valuable reference for the salmon fly dresser and an attractive addition to a collection of classic Atlantic salmon fishing literature.
For a complementary perspective on traditional feather-wing salmon flies, discover George M. Kelson's The Salmon Fly (1895, 1979 facsimile) , alongside further works on salmon fly dressing in our collection of classic angling literature.
