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.
