  <abstract>"Blacker's Art of Fly Making, &amp;c.: comprising angling, &amp; dyeing of colours" by William Blacker is a fly tying manual first published in 1842. Written by a London tackle dealer and passionate angler, this work reveals the craft of creating artificial flies for salmon and trout fishing. Blacker shares techniques drawn from years fishing British and Irish streams, offering detailed instructions on fly construction, dyeing materials, and matching patterns to seasonal hatches. The book promises to transform novices into skilled fly-makers through clear, practical guidance rooted in hands-on experience rather than theory.
