The most important book on salmon-fly dressing. Dr T. E. Pryce-Tannatt was an amateur who never had any instruction in fly-dressing.
Nevertheless he produced “the most notable book to date on the subject since Kelson, indispensable to the learner; his flies are distinguished by their beauty and finish and his descriptions are lucid.” Robb, Notable Angling Literature [1947].
