Fur and Feather - Fly-Tying For Trout
1991 (First edition).
Kangaroo Press
, Sydney, Australia
As above it is in very good or better condition if one can ignore the library desecration that is confined to the endpapers and paste downs. This is one of the best Australian trout fly fishing productions ever and first editions have become scarce for the collector or tier. A wonderful component of the book is that for each of the flies described in Part One there are details of the origin and the naming of the fly (be it locally invented or with international roots). Part Two is an excellent summary of basic tying techniques used in most freshwater flies for the novice.
