Sobre este item

New York. The Derrydale Press. 1939. Limited Edition. Both volumes signed by Haig-Brown on the half-title. Two Volumes. Vol. 1: 200 pp. Vol. 2: 191 pp. including index. Quarto (10 1/2 x 8). This is a mixed numbered set. Volume 1 is number 560 and volume 2 is number 552 of 950 sets published. Color frontispiece showing artificial flies in each volume. Exquisite color plates of fish by E.B.S. Logier. Black and white photos. Text drawings. Foreword by C. McC. Mottley. Since its publication long ago, Haig-Brown's masterful treatment of fly fishing in the Pacific Northwest remains the most comprehensive and thorough account published. This set at one time belonged to former Washington state legislator Charles H. Todd with his signature in both volumes. Mr. Todd was a lifelong Democrat (and in today’s world, it’s the only sane major political body in the U.S.) and one of Seattle’s most well-known attorneys and an accomplished fly fisherman. The two volumes bound in their original red cloth with gilt titles and decorations. There’s some light soiling to the covers, otherwise this is a very good set. Signed copies of the Derrydale Press edition are scarce.. Signed by Author.

Sobre Bruce Cave Fine Fly Fishing Books

Bruce Cave Fine Books specializes in quality fishing books – particularly fly fishing for trout, steelhead, Pacific and Atlantic salmon, striped, black, and smallmouth bass plus any other fish that’ll eat a well-dressed fly; fresh and salt water fishing anywhere on the planet, ranging from picky rainbows in the North Fork of the Feather River near Chester in Northern California to five hundred pound river monsters at Cao Lh in the Mekong Delta. That’s me in the top photo at age 10 in 1957 on the steps of our now gone cabin at Prattville on the west shore of Lake Almanor (it was elegant) – I’m holding the largest trout I’ve ever caught (seven pounds), and needed my grandfather’s helping hand to do it; that fish caught my imagination. And that’s me in the second photo taken in late October 2014 on the same cabin steps, 57 years later, holding an imaginary fish. Between the intervening years I realized that reading about fishing could be nearly as good as fishing itself. I also came to know that fly fishing can be a metaphor for life; there are those moments in fishing that require neither stream nor fish, and sometimes the least important thing about fly fishing is the fishing. Now it’s catch and release for the most part – time spent in rivers and lakes together with age encourages it. Fly fishing is timeless; fishermen aren’t. I think Robert Traver had it right: I fish ‘because maybe one day I will catch a mermaid’; and I ‘don’t regard fishing as being so terribly important but because I suspect that so many of the other concerns of men are equally unimportant - and not nearly so much fun.' A life of fly fishing is beautiful and simple. I’m always interested in purchasing good books, booklets, pamphlets, catalogues, brochures and other ephemera on these subjects and encourage you to either email me at brucecave@comcast.net or telephone 916.728.5019. Sincerely, Bruce Cave.
