2003. Volume 2. Issue 2. Large perfect-bound magazine format paperback (230 x 300mm). Pp232. Highest quality colour photographs throughout, advertisements.

A handsome and wonderfully illustrated journal. Articles on fly-tying and materials, fishing tackle collecting, angling art and literature. Brilliant photography and a superb production of the highest quality. This series was printed using a five-colour printing process, one of the five being real, metallic, gold. The obvious expense of this could have contributed to the early demise of the series, but has left us with wonderful, lustrous photographs. ISSN: 1536-9636.
