520 _a"Old Flies in New Dresses" by Charles Edward Walker is a practical guide on the art of fly-dressing, written in the late 19th century. The book aims to improve upon existing methods of creating artificial flies used in fishing, specifically by advocating for the accurate representation of wing positions that reflect natural flies. Walker discusses various fly types, like the Alder-fly, emphasizing the importance of their shape and coloration in effective imitation, which can lead to more successful fishing experiences. The opening of the work introduces the author's purpose and methodology for fly-dressing. He critiques previous attempts to imitate natural flies, noting inaccuracies in typical representations, particularly in wing positioning. Walker shares his initial experiments with dressed flies, recounting successful outcomes when he adhered closely to the natural positioning of the wings, as opposed to conventional methods. He emphasizes the significance of understanding the anatomy and behavior of these flies to enhance the effectiveness of their imitations, setting the stage for detailed discussions of various fly types and techniques that follow in the text.
