Book First Edition
(Hardcover, 1986). 1986 1st edition. Small slim 8vo (108 x 198mm). Pp108. B/w line illustrations by the author. Laminated boards. Slight spotting to top edge, tape marks to end-papers, internally clean. Good-plus. One of a well-regarded series, along with Fifty Favourite Dry Flies and Fifty Favourite Nymphs. In this book, T. Donald Overfield "has made a special selection for the trout angler of both ancient and modern wet flies. As well as providing a fascinating historical background to every pattern, he describes clearly how each is tied and illustrates, in his own distinctive style, various stages in the tying procedure". There is no bibliography as such, but where the author has taken a particular fly from a book, or researched its origins, he does discuss the book in question in the text. .

(Hardcover, 1977). 1977 1st edition. 8vo (143 x 223mm). Pp288. B/w photographs, map. Brown boards, spine titled in gilt. Slight marks to edges but good-plus, lacks dust-wrapper. "George Edward Mackenzie Skues was, by common consent, the senior angler of his day. His mastery of the art of fly-fishing for trout was based on acute observation and the application of sound common sense, and the invaluable results of his experience became available in four outstanding books published between 1910 and 1939." In this book, Donald Overfield has gathered together seventy-one articles and thirty letters by Skues that have previously appeared in The Flyfisher's Club Journal but never in book form. To complement these articles Overfield has included a brief biography of the man, chapters on his published fly patterns, his rod (the 'World's Best Rod'), the nymph controversy and an assessment of the immense contribution that Skues made to flyfishing. A very good and important book on one of the most important men in the history of flyfishing. .
