"This illustrated guide to the fishing flies of Wales features the trout, sewin (seatrout) and salmon patterns currently in use on rivers and lakes throughout the country. It includes all the traditional, and the best modern, Welsh flies, plus the 'imported' flies which are particularly successful on Welsh waters.The book contains:* colour photos of the flies and a list of the materials used to tie each one* the rivers and lakes on which they are most frequently used* who invented thrm, for what purpose, and why they have endured* and, most importantly, the book discloses which flies the locals use, from Conway, to Usk and to Teifi.Coch-a-bon-ddu, Pry-copyn, Wil Harry, Welshman's Button, Conway Blue, Teifi Terror - these are among the better-known Welsh flies. But this book also features flies which are perhaps less familiar (yet no less effective at the right place and time) such as Evans' Usk March Brown, Lewi's Killer, Pryce Tannatt's Gravel Bed and the Bongoch.Wales has a rich collection of flies, from bushy bob flies for the rivers, to small emergers for the trout lakes; from silvery lures for sewin, to streamlined hairwings for salmon.This invaluable reference work will appeal to all anglers in Wales, whether locals hungry for background information about their regular flies or visitors in need of some sound local advice.The flies in this book have been specially tied by three accomplished Welsh flytyers: Shane Jones, Terry Thomas and Kevin Hughes."… (mehr)

The traditional flies of Wales are not famous for their gaudiness and flamboyance.
Author's preface.
Flydressing, that rare combination of intensely practical and instinctive artistry, has a thoroughly absorbing historical development in Wales.
A brief history of flyfishing in Wales, by Lynn Hughes.
Were we to rely on printed book sources, there is no really reliable evidence of fly-fishing activity in Wales before 1820, at which time is seen to have become developed, on the authority of George Scotcher's The Fly Fisher's Legacy, published in Chepstow, into being a highly exacting pursuit.
The wet flies.

It deserves tying on double and treble hooks and being more widely used: it has a pleasing simplicity about it and the 'lethal' appearance of a really good salmon fly.
