Reseña del editor:
Writings from one of the most original and provocative fly-fishing theorists of the twentieth century Important inquiries into the nature of trout and the challenges of catching them with flies
James Mottram wrote at the height of great intellectual turmoil in the world of British fly fishing, when advocates of dry-fly fishing quarreled with their nymph-fishing counterparts over which type of fishing was not only more effective but also more "appropriate" on England's famous chalkstreams. Mottram stepped into this bitter controversy with writings that calmly considered the strengths, weaknesses, and prospects of all fly-fishing methods.
In his introduction to this first American edition of Mottram's writings, Paul Schullery praises Mottram's "enthusiastic voice, ceaseless curiosity, and intuitive sense of how things worked." Schullery concludes that Mottram, who was rare among early angling authorities in actually being scientifically trained, "applied a disciplined understanding of nature's subtlety and complexity to the study of the trout's world." That he was also a lively and inventive storyteller only adds to the value of his work today.

Descripción Condición: new. (Hardcover, 2009 ). 2009 1st edition thus. 16mo (105 x 159mm). Ppxiv,160. B/w line illustrations, new bibliography, black, decoratively grained end-papers. Powder-blue, decoratively grained paper-covered boards, spine titled in gilt. Slight shelf-wear but a fine new unread copy in dust-wrapper. Carefully selected excerpts from Mottram's "Fly-fishing: Some New Arts and Mysteries," widely regarded as one of the most innovative fishing books ever written. Mottram was a radiologist. His scientific training gave him great advantages as an investigative trout angler. His fly patterns for nymphs, smuts and "silhouette" duns were years ahead of their time. These patterns date from pre-1915! Mottram's book delves in some depth into all corners of the art of flyfishing and remains as important today as it was ninety years ago. This abridgement retains Mottram's highly amusing chapter "In 2014," where fish of the future are cossetted in highly regulated artificial fisheries and caught and released by anglers who know them individually by names such as 'Brown Beauty.' This of course could never happen in real life! A well-designed and nicely presented new edition which provides an excellent preliminary to further exploration of James Mottram's work.
