TROUT FLIES
OF
DEVON AND CORNWALL,
AND
WHEN AND HOW TO USE THEM.
BY G. W. SOLTAU, ESQ.
LITTLE EFFORD, DEVON.
“And thus our life exempt from public haunts,
“Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brook,
“Sermons in stones, and good in every thing.”
LONGMAN & CO. PATERNOSTER ROW;
WALLIS AND HOLDEN, EXETER; BRIGHTWELL, BARNSTAPLE; LIDDELL,
BODMIN; HEARD AND SONS, TRURO; AND
EDWARD NETTLETON, WHIMPLE STREET,
PLYMOUTH,
PRINTER TO HER MAJESTY.
1847.
_NOTE._
_It will be remarked that the Flies furnished by the makers, do not,
in all cases, exhibit the same tints as those shown in the drawings;
this arises from the difficulty of colouring exactly from the original
Flies. I have examined the patterns manufactured by the parties
referred to in p. 40, and find they correspond precisely with my own. I
would therefore recommend those persons, who are in the habit of making
their own flies, to procure patterns from the makers and imitate them,
rather than take those in the lithographed sketch for their guide._
