This is the text of a well received talk on flyfishing for salmon, written by an anonymous author whilst in hospital receiving treatment for an illness which was to soon prove fatal. Shortly before his death, the author gave the manuscript to the wife of Jack Chance. As editor, Chance has made minimal changes to the original text but on issues with which he disagreed with the author or felt further explanation was necessary he has added footnotes. Chapters on the origins and habits of the Atlantic Salmon, tackle, casting and fishing methods.
