The Essential Kelson
If there is one milestone in the whole of salmon fishing literature
which no fisherman should be without, it is George Mortimer Kelson's "The Salmon Fly: how to dress it and how to use it," first published in 1895. Terry Griffiths,
in his brilliant new book, "The Essential Kelson" has made a meticulous
study of the complete writings of Kelson, showing how far ahead of his
time he really was. Terry has invited some of the world's foremost
classic salmon fly-tyers to interpret and tie many of Kelson's extremely
complex patterns, giving us a new understanding of his unique take on
the classic salmon fly. Beautifully photographed and lavishly reproduced
on high quality paper, this definite new interpretation of Kelson, his
philosophy and work, will doubtless enhance the mystique surronding the
the man!
