Where Bright Waters Meet

Fly Forums offer a pdf download  of this delightful and now very rare fishing classic  to registered members.  A cynical means of tempting you to The Dark Side and into  The Land of  Mordor, an evil  journey and an experience from which you are unlikely to ever recover.

I have attached a copy of this excellent work here on this post that you can download thereby saving yourself the trauma of a visit into the badlands.

A great read especially  if you have a tablet device.

You should download that book Dave, real "old school".  Straight off the mark he's talking about catching trout on dry fly and shooting pike with firearms.  :lol:

Circa 1900.  Some things never change.

Its also quite amazing just how they have f****d up these chalk streams since way back them - over fishing - killing everything they caught -  abstraction - stocking....................  :?

This is today's reality.

certainly does make it sound fun; when he's not jovially blasting the bejeezus out of them with a twelve gauge, he's targeting them with an Alexandra. quite the progressive imo   :lol: strikes me as the sort of delightful old cove who'd take to the mallard dabbler like......

I loved the "grey squirrel of the chalk stream" reference, too  :

Indeed. In spite of all that though it's a great read. Reminds me of the books I used to read when I was a kid that helped me visualize a very unreal impression of fly fishing. I just could not figure out why I was not catching bags of  3 brace of 2 pounders on The Brothock Burn.  Whatever was I doing wrong? :lol:

being brought up on the banks of the grand union canal I always had a very unreal view of fly fishing. come to think of it, that might explain a few things.... :

Bloody unions.  :lol:

Incidentally, the author, Harry Plunket Greene died  19 August 1936. UK copyright law lasts for 70 years after the death of the holder, that means this book became free of copyright in 2006.   :
