1ST ED 1914 How to Dress Salmon Flies: Handbook for Amateurs.
Significance: Published right before World War I, it is widely considered one of the final definitive, cornerstone textbooks of the classic era of feather-wing Atlantic salmon fly tying.
Approach: Unlike exhibition-focused texts of the late 19th century, Pryce-Tannatt prioritized practical, cleanly constructed fishing flies. It famously instructs tyers on complex, precise techniques such as attaching gut loops to \"blind eye\" hooks and wrapping complex \"married\" wings entirely by hand or without the extensive reliance on modern fly-tying vises.
Contents: The original edition contains 12 full-page illustrations (8 of which are highly detailed color plates of traditional flies) and 101 instructional text figures.
