THE WAY OF A MAN WITH A NYMPH: THE NYMPH DRESSINGS OF G.E.M. SKUES.

THE FORGOTTEN FLIES OF ROGER WOOLLEY. By John N. Watson.

2012 1st edition. Ppxviii,249,ads. Colour plates of flies, paintings by Ashley Bryant. Full goatskin, containing an actual RW fly, slipcase.

A detailed account of all of Roger Woolley's surviving fly collection, all unfamiliar patterns originated by Woolley himself and never previously published. The patterns "range from tiny midges to a huge salmon fly, and a selection of older mayfly patterns; dates are unknown, but many of the dressings appear to have been made early in Woolley's career; there is speculation that they may have been personal favourites, good sellers or successful patterns reserved for certain clients. ...They provide an illuminating insight into the work of one of the twentieth century's most highly respected professional fly-dressers, known for its quality and innovation." "Woolley is one... who has the somewhat exceptional qualification in his line of business of knowing something of anglers' entomology and of making a genuine endeavour to produce accurate representations of insects." G.E.M. Skues.
