Among all the classic Atlantic salmon flies, a series of flies designed by Major John Popkin Traherne (1826-1901) stands out. However, it's not quite clear how many patterns Major designed. This is author's quest to find Traherne patterns from classic to modern literature and his passion to dress and present them all together. All flies are masterfully dressed and inspected by a few noted fly dressers. Superb photography on luxurious paper. That being said, this is not just an eye-pleasing photo book. This is based on the intense research with literature, with fly dressing recipes and bibliography included.

Ever challenging conventional wisdom, in the first half of this book he offers a totally new look at fly rods and lines, a critical evaluation of fly reels, new insights into how one chooses flies and a review of other fishing tackle and equipment. The second half of the book contains a widely acclaimed evaluation of the conservation of Atlantic salmon as well as a sentimental journey along his "sacred salmon rivers." With its clean, elegant writing; evocative original art by Thomas A. Daly; exquisite color photographs; and some of the author's favorite salmon recipes, this truly is a book to savor.
