About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos, missing text or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1908. Not illustrated. Excerpt: ... recorded successful sport that not many are required on chalk streams--in fact, not a quarter of the one hundred patterns which experts made out lists of a decade ago. I have gone through a season with one pattern of fly only. (See Field, March 18th, 1899, and December 17th, 1904.)

GRAYLING FLIES. Red tag, Foster's fancy, honey dun bumble fished dry, the Englefield quill, with and without a flat silver tag, as tied by Ogden Smith; pink Wickham, apple-green, hare's ear, and dark olive dun with silver-ribbed body.
