Originally published in 1936, this book is the results of years of research by the author - a keen fisherman and talented amateur naturalist. The book is intended to be of great use to the fly dressing angler and contains a wealth of information and instruction accordingly. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Hesperides Press are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork. Contents Include - A Short Account of the Life History of Aquatic Insects - Structure of Aquatic Insects - Times and Appearance of Natural Flies, and their Artificial Imitations - Lists of British Flies
