Description:This is a modern reprint of the angling classic:How to Tie Salmon Flies: A Treatise on the Methods of Tying the Various Kinds of Salmon Flies, with Illustrated Directions.By Major J.H. Hale (East Lancashire Regiment)Second Edition RevisedWith an appendix giving the dressings of 361 Salmon Flies, alphabetically arranged.Originally published in London by: The "Fishing Gazette" Limited, 1919This is a modern reprint of an angling classic. By "modern reprint" we mean that the type is has been reset from the original published book in hand and proofread numerous times to ensure accuracy, i.e., it's not a shoddy OCR scan with lots of errors. All 67 illustrations in the original work have been scanned and resized in photoshop by a graphic arts professional, to ensure high quality. This second edition includes the dressings of 361 Salmon Flies (the first edition had 40), including "The Scott Series" by Messrs. Hardy Bros. and the "R.B.M. Series of Gem Salmon Flies With Metallic Celluloid Bodies" by the Dreadnought Casting Reel Company., Limited of Newport, I.W.How many fishermen one meets who cannot tie their own flies—many of them not even being able to name their different parts; and of those who do tie them, what a great proportion do so indifferently!I believe the reason lies in the facts that there are no books entering thoroughly into all the details of the subject, and that lessons can only be obtained by paying a long price. It is certainly far cheaper to make one's own flies than to buy them, putting aside the amusement and satisfaction derived from doing so.My object in writing these articles is in the hope that those who have the leisure and inclination to do so will be enabled by them, not only to learn to tie their own flies, but also to increase their sport.I have so often met ardent anglers throwing flies of such wondrous deformity, that, no matter what skill was exercised in handling the rod, no fish with ordinary fishy brain would glance at, much less leave his resting-place to examine them. I am rather inclined to believe that these monstrosities frighten the fish. A little knowledge of the subject of fly-tying would save such anglers days of disgust and disappointment. Salmon fly-tying is a most fascinating art; partly because there is so much variety in it, partly because (to those who strive for perfection) of the difficulties. In nearly every fly that he makes the beginner will find something new to learn, some new fact to make a note of. Practice there must be. Even those who can tie small trout flies well, and can handle silk, etc., easily, will find a salmon fly a very different thing at first; there are so many more details to attend to, and so many more difficulties to be overcome. Perfection in fly-tying is not absolutely necessary to ensure success as a fisherman; but it will generally be found, I think, that those who have well-tied flies are more successful than those who have badly tied ones....The original work contained the dressings of forty salmon flies. Thanks to the kindness of my friend, Mr. John J. Hardy, of Messrs. Hardy Bros., the well-known fishing-rod and tackle manufacturers of Alnwick, I am able to reprint from his work, "Salmon Fishing," now out of print, his alphabetical list of 361 salmon flies with their dressings. Neither he nor any other salmon angler would contend that all these patterns are necessary, or even a tithe of them; at the same time I know, from over forty years' experience, that no question comes to me oftener than "Can you give me the dressing of such and such a salmon fly?”CONTENTSINTRODUCTION .CHAPTER I.
