31 ** Arthur H.E. Wood, an engineer by trade, is credited with developing the technique of greased (floating) line fishing for salmon; advocating the use of much smaller flies and lighter silk lines than was the norm for the time, particularly during warm spells and periods of low water. He held the lease for the Cairnton beat on the River Dee, Aberdeenshire between where he perfected not only the art of floating line fishing for salmon but also the flies and tackle that the modern day salmon fisher now takes for granted. 201 A rare and highly important brass 2¾ trout fly winch - purported to be the former property of G.E.M Skues, the domed cow horn handle mounted on a gently curving crank winding arm with flat headed iron retaining screw, raised check housing to rear plate, fixed check mechanism, riveted block foot and triple pillared cage, the face engraved G.E.M.

Col. Crow, Ibsley, interior with lift-out wooden panel and containing a selection of approximately 1065 flies and lures, mainly trout river and still-water patterns and lowwater salmon flies, tied by Walker and presented to Col. Crow for trial purposes, amongst the patterns are the Sweeney Todd, Baby Doll, Jersey Herd, Missionary, Whiskey fly, Muddler et al, there a small number of flies within the collection which likely pre-date R.W. including a small selection of early 20 th Century beetle, bee and grass hopper flies and may well have been added by Col. Crow at a later date, the box is sold with a letter of provenance from a Mr. D. Charsley-Thomas who originally acquired the box and flies from the late Col. Crow s estate, case in overall good condition, 20 x 11½ x 4½ overall ** Col. Crow was keeper at Somerley estate on the River Avon Hampshire during the 1950 s-70 s and was one of the best known chalk stream river keepers of his era, he was the author of Hampshire Avon Salmon published by Angling Times in the mid 1960 s. Richard Walker, arguably the most famous and respected angler of the 20 th Century was a great friend of Col. Crow s and fished Somerley regularly where he spent much time in pursuit of the famous Avon barbel and chub ** Originally sold by Angling Auctions in 2001, the previous owner purchased the reel from a collector in Winchester, Hampshire where Skues took rooms during the chalk stream trout season, Skues, very much the nemesis of Halford s doctrine on dry fly fishing, was a proponent of the sub-surface nymph, a highly acclaimed author and undoubtedly one of the great pioneers of trout nymphing techniques 31

An accomplished fly tyer and author he will best be remembered as the inventor of the Pheasant Tail Nymph and Killer Bug stalking nymph. He wrote a number of highly successful books including Keeper of the Stream (1952) and Nymphs and the Trout (1958) 205 A collection of Frank Sawyer s personal fishing items comprising; A Pflueger Medalist 3¼ trout fly reel, a Hardy rectangular japanned Oblong lure and cast case holding a small selection of various baits and scratched F.E.

Halford s presentation limited edition 2 volume copy of Modern Development of the Dry-Fly Frederic M. Halford ( ) did more than anyone else to popularise the practice of dry fly fishing, and to codify the best techniques attainable in his time. His teachings were set forth in seven books and over two hundred articles, most of them published under the pseudonym of Detached Badger in The Field. From its early days on chalk streams, the dry fly, with regional modifications, was to spread all over the world. Much has changed since then: new methods have been developed, the effectiveness of the nymph has been accepted, and some of Halford s views and attitudes have been criticized. This in no way diminishes his importance as a figure of enormous influence in his lifetime and indeed long after his death. He will undoubtedly be regarded by most trout fishermen worldwide as the true father of the art dry-fly fishing 32

Halford MS Angling Diary, 3 April October 1913: and Ernest Halford 1 April September This takes Halford s angling life up to his last day s fishing in the autumn of His death occurred the following March. Halford had complete control over the Mottisfont fishery and tried to ensure that the guests used the New Patterns most did so. But it was not an entirely happy time for him. His wife died in 1907 (see entry for 15 April), and he was aware that his increasingly rigid ideas were being challenged by G.E.M.Skues and others. Among several startling things in this diary can be found the record of his furtive experimenting with nymph patterns, abetted by Martin Mosely. After his death the family continued to keep the diary for fishing at Mottisfont until 1922, and afterwards for their fishery at Newton Stacey. (see illustration) F.M.

( ). Accomplished angler, author and angling historian it would not be an overstatement to say that Fred was one of the most influential figures on the UK fishing scene over the last 60 years. A passionate pike angler and lover of the Irish loughs and rivers it was his 1979 ground breaking book The Domesday Book of Mammoth Pike that did much to change the face of modern specimen pike fishing. He wrote many other classic titles including The Domesday Book of Mammoth Salmon and, in collaboration with Hugh Falkus, Falkus and Buller s Freshwater Fishing. In the 1950 s he opened Chubbs Tackle & 70

71 Gun shop in Edgware, it was around this time he was to make the acquaintance of Richard Walker, Fred J. Taylor and Leslie Moncrieff the creative core of a small group of anglers that were to become famous in the following years for their innovative approach to the development of modern fishing techniques. In 1963 Fred, along with Moncrieff and Walker, set up the Moncrieff Rod Co. producing the first ever carbon fishing rod. A lifelong passionate all-round angler, in 2010 he was awarded an M.B.E. for his services to angling, to those who knew him, he will always be fondly remembered as a true gentleman and scholar of the Art.
