  • Atlantic Salmon Fly Tying from Past to Present
    10 Isabelle Levesque Atlantic Salmon Fly Tying from past to present Without pretending to be an historian, I can state that the evolution of salmon flies has been known for over two hundred years. Over that time, and long before, many changes have come to the art of fly tying; the materials, tools, and techniques we use today are not what our predecessors used. In order to understand the modern art, a fly tier ought to know a bit of the evolution and history of line fishing, fly fishing, and the art of tying a fly. Without going into too much detail, here is a brief overview of the evolution and the art of angling and fly tying. I will start by separating the evolution of fly tying into three categories: fly fishing, the Victorian era, and the contemporary era. Historians claim that the first scriptures on flies were from Dame Juliana Berners’s Book of Saint Albans (1486), which incorporated an earlier work, A Treatise of Fishing with an Angle. The Benedictine nun wrote on outdoor recreation, the origin of artificial flies, and fly-fishing equipment. This book was updated in 1496 with additional fishing techniques. In the early 1500s, a Spanish author by the name of Fernando Basurto promoted fishing among sportsmen with hisLittle Treatise on Fishing; but the first masterpiece of English literature on fishing wasThe Compleat Angler by Izaak Walton and Charles Cotton, published in 1653. Walton was a passionate fisherman who wanted to promote fishing as an activity in communion with nature. Unlike modern books about fishing, Walton’s did not specify equipment or techniques to use in particular fishing situations.

Abundant harvests and general good health, for which we are indebted to a good Providence, together with l'enrnn­ erative industrial and business pursuits, have given to our State and the countl'y another year of great general prnspcr­ ity, in which the railroads have largely participated. :Frnm our careful and thorough inspections of those and their equip­ ments, in this State, as required by law, we are euabled to give a very gratifying- account of their condition. \\Tc have found all in good repair and safe, aml most of them in a high or advanced state of improvement, especially the principal lines, such as has characterized the same in the immediately preceding years, and ·vvhich we have had the pleasure of commending in former reports.
