3 out of 5 stars Great on the history, but short on What's New!   September 7, 2002

Fascinating book on the history and lore of Atlantic salmon fishing and flies. The salmon fishing stories are wonderful. However, for a book that was up-dated in 1995, the chapter on "The New Look in Salmon Tackle" was very out-of-date -- graphite rods aren't even mentioned.

On the other hand, I found the sections on how salmon take flies, and wet-fly and dry-fly fishing methods useful.

The writing on salmon flies and their history is fascinating.

This is my first book on the topic so I can't say how it compares with others.

Atlantic Salmon Flies and Fishing is brimming over with information for anyone interested in the history of fishing for salmon, tying Atlantic Salmon flies and in all the related "arts" of fishing for Salmon. The color plates of flies are vivid and clear and the lighthearted yet informative text is easy and enjoyable to read.
