"The main purpose of this book is to record pattern details for a great number of the excellent hair-wing Atlantic salmon flies that have been developed over the years since hair-wings were first originated. Techniques for converting classic salmon flies and basic trout wet flies into effective hair-wings have also been included. Although some books on Atlantic salmon fishing and fly tyings list a few hair-wing patterns, there has been no comprehensive treatment of the subject in the past. For this reason we hope fly tyers in general and [anglers] will find this publication to be a useful one. Chapters include: The origin and development of hair-wing Atlantic salmon wet flies; Basic hair-wing salmon flies and how to tie them; converting classic salmon patterns to hair-wings; Converting trout wet-flies to hair-wing salmon flies; The salmon, the tackle and the fishing techniques; Bucktails and tube flies; Pattern index. Appendices include: Basic hair-wings and their variations; Unnamed guide patterns; converted classic patterns; converted trout patterns; Selected bibliography. Our notes state that this edition was limited to 500 copies.
