A distinguished work of classic British salmon fishing literature by John James Hardy, a member of the celebrated Hardy family of Alnwick, whose name has become inseparable from the history of fine fishing tackle.
Salmon Fishing is particularly valued for its extensive treatment of traditional salmon flies, including the dressings of 345 patterns. It offers a fascinating record of the materials, methods, and fly designs associated with the golden age of British salmon fishing.
This handsome edition was produced by the Flyfisher's Classic Library in a limited printing of 750 copies. Bound in full leather with gilt lettering to the spine and the library's gilt emblem to the front board, it features marbled endpapers, gilt top edge, and both black-and-white and colour illustrations.
This copy is in as-new condition and is accompanied by its original cloth-covered slipcase, also in fine condition.
An attractive addition to any collection of classic salmon fishing literature, and a particularly fitting companion to a vintage Hardy reel or traditional salmon fly collection.
