Hard to come by, "Fly Fishing: Memories of Angling Days" by JR Hartley, whose best-known catch to date is the public's imagination! Compiled into one book are his elusive fishing recollections told in a series of vividly chronological cameos, ranging over periodand location from his Yorkshire schooldays in the early 1930's, through memorable outings on chalk streams, spate rivers and lochs, to a startling conclusion half a lifetime later on a Scottish summer night. Complemented by evocative black and white illustrations by Patrick Benson, JR's story will touch every fly angler. It is a book that will appeal to everyone, even those who have never held a rod, for the engaging portrait that emerges of the ultimate reluctant hero. Excellent condition, with maroon canvas hardcover and gold lettering on spine. 127 pages, 22cm x 14.5cm.
