PLU STINIOG - TROUT FLIES FOR NORTH WALES Emrys Evans, Manod, was a well-known North Wales fisherman and a keen historian of Welsh angling. He formed a collection of 133 fly patterns usedin the multitude of hill lakes in the area of Blaenau Ffestiniog, together with extensive manuscript notes. To add to this portfolio, his son-in-law, Gareth Tudor Jones, photographed each fly. Emrys's family published the original edition in his memory, illustrated with Gareth Tudor Jones's excellent photography. This first edition, in the Welsh language, sold out very quickly. A unique and valuable record of flies, principally for trout but also including patterns for sea trout and salmon, most of them unique to the Ffestinog area of the Snowdonia National Park. This copy is one of a fine-quality limited issue of the English translation, ably effected by Coch-y-Bonddu's Rev. Richard Lewis and edited by Paul Morgan. It is fully bound in blue bonded leather, with coloured end-papers. It was issued with the same ISBN as the standard edition, 9781904784289.
