Blacker's Art of Fly Making: The Art of Fly Tying and Fly Fishing

"Blacker's Art of Fly Making" was written by William Blacker more than 160 years ago. We are republishing this rare gem in its original form and format, retaining its antiquarian charm. This diamond of a book - the perfect gift for any avid fly-fisherman - covers a range of related subjects including The Art of Fly Making, An Easy Method to Make the Trout Fly, An Easy Method of Making a Plain Salmon Fly, Process of Making the Gaudy Fly, A Catechism of Fly Making, to name a few. Also features flies for the fishing season months from March to August, and informative sections on many Scottish and English rivers. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface. As a result, some characters, illustrations and images might suffer from slight imperfections, blurring or minor shadows in the page background. This book appears exactly as it did when it was first published.
