Gents,

Being on the subject of flyfishing books.

A fine english gentleman that works for me
has his father visting from the UK. David
my associate had mentioned to his father that I enjoy the angling sport and reading on it.

We had dinner just last evening and Davids father presents me with a hard bound book
titled “Hardy’s Book of Fishing”, Compiled by Patrick Annesley. 1971, 1975 edition.

It begins with a written tour of the
Hardy Northumberland Manufactory. The original rod building plant. From there
is seems to cover most aspects of our sport
with some very neat details from the past.

Quite a bit of verbage from era 1898 /1920’s discribed tremendously.

The book is in beautful condition bound wonderfully with a paper cover.

Simply a delightful book to read that I shall treasure.

Thanks for letting me share.

Any one else have this nice book?

Care to comment on others as well?

Hi Steve-

Sounds like a wonderful book. I’m envious. Treasure it.

Started when I was around 9years old :slight_smile: --I use to print out some of the best articles , – stacks and stacks of them.—Made me a better flyfisherman and steward of the riversthat --I have no doubt. Thankful. – you bet. —Miss hearing from the old crew… --Chime in , or not…Cheers

It has been 20+ for me as well, back to the days when it was the old cascading threads format. It’s a shame how quiet the old place has gotten.
