A lightly edited new edition of Alfred Ronald’s landmark fly-fishing work, first published in 1836. Ronalds (1802-1869) was a London-born author, artisan, fisherman and (later in life) a pioneer and gold prospector in New South Wales. He was the first great angler-naturalists and his book, The Fly-Fisher’s Entomology both revolutionised fly-fishing and fly-tying and forms the basis of almost all subsequent publications on the topic. A lovely, now vintage in its own right, copy.
