Thanks for posting this Ray. Great info. I've been downloading public domain pdf books from Google books for several years. Couldn't find this one. I've downloaded well over 200 books. Maybe just for I-Pads/Macs?
EDIT:
I found it, but as Piscatorial Hints by Well Known Writers. Thanks again for posting.

Yesterday I spent some time looking thru the (digital) pages of an old anglers supply catalogue (Walbran's Anglers Annual/circa 1894/Sixth Edition). I was fascinated by the various descriptions and illustrations of fishing gear from that era.
I love seeing some of the old fly books:
The "Warfedale" Fly Book:
Dubbing and Material Book:
Tackle Books and Flight Cases:
I loved some of the miscellaneous items, such as this flask/sandwich box combo. I want one...
Do any of you collectors have examples of these older fly books/paraphernalia? If so, please post pictures.
um, i like the "dram flask and sandwich case"......english innovation at its best. I mean, what could be better than a sandwich and drink whilst fly fishing !!
