One of the great reference works of traditional British fly dressing, John Veniard's Fly Dressers' Guide has long been valued for its remarkable breadth of patterns, materials and practical instruction.
Drawing upon decades of experience as a fly dresser and supplier of specialist materials, Veniard assembled a comprehensive guide to the art of tying flies for a wide variety of freshwater and saltwater species.
The book covers traditional trout and salmon flies, dry and wet patterns, streamers, hair-wing flies, Spey and Dee patterns, as well as flies for grayling, pike, perch and coarse fish. Detailed discussions of hooks, silks, tinsels, feathers, dyeing and other materials are accompanied by colour plates, photographs and line illustrations.
Of particular interest to the collector is the book's extensive documentation of traditional salmon fly patterns and the materials used to dress them.
This copy is the fourth edition of 1970, reprinted in 1977. It comprises 256 pages and is bound in red cloth with gilt spine lettering.
Condition: Good, with the original dust jacket showing some rubbing and wear.
A practical and historically interesting reference, equally appealing to the experienced fly dresser and the collector of classic angling literature.
Explore further classics of traditional fly dressing, including George M. Kelson's The Salmon Fly and H.G. McClelland's The Trout Fly Dresser's Cabinet of Devices, in our collection of vintage angling literature .
