Book First Edition
(Hardcover, 2009). (1957) 2009 1st French edition. 8vo (167 x 248mm). Pp238,ad. B/w photographs and illustrations, map. Laminated boards. Edn limited to 300 copies of which the first 100 are numbered. Fine unread copy. Numbered copy of a limited edition of 300 (only the first 100 were numbered). This is the first French translation of Torridge Fishery by Lindsay Gray. Gray was proprietor of a fishing hotel on the Torridge. A useful and scarce work (in the original, and more so in French!) which covers spinning and greased-line fishing for salmon and is particularly good on seatrout. Includes a good section on the management of salmon and seatrout rivers. The French text is easily accessible to anyone who remembers some of their French from school and who has a basic knowledge of flyfishing. If you want to discuss fishing with French anglers, reading any of Claude Belloir's translations of English classics is an easy, pain-free way in, and much to be recommended. .
