FLY DRESSING INNOVATIONS. By Richard Walker.

1974 1st edition. 8vo (152 x 217mm). Pp111. Colour plates of flies, b/w illustrations. Photograph laminated boards.

One of the first books to describe modern reservoir trout flies. Dick Walker, a key figure in twentieth century coarse fishing, was also one of our most inventive and innovative fly anglers. Here he describes the important fly patterns of the 1970s, many of which are still in use today. Many of them are his own patterns but he also includes patterns by other pioneers such as Steve Parton, John Goddard and Arthur Cove, as well as traditional patterns of importance to the reservoir angler. Includes nymphs, shrimps, midge pupae, hedgehogs and daddies, as well as those classics of the seventies: the Polystickle, the Jersey Herd, and the Sweeny Todd.
