(Hardcover, 2009). 2009 1st edition. Slim 8vo (132 x 222mm). Pp165. Colour photographs throughout. Pictorial laminated boards. A slightly used but very good copy of the welsh language first edition. PLU STINIOG - FLIES OF THE FFESTINIOG AREA. Emrys Evans, Manod, was a well-known North Wales fisherman and a keen historian of Welsh angling. He formed a collection of 133 fly patterns used in the multitude of hill lakes in the area of Blaenau Ffestiniog, together with extensive manuscript notes. To add to this portfolio, his son-in-law, Gareth Tudor Jones, photographed each fly. After Emrys's death in 2008, at the age of 91, his family explored the possibility of publishing his work. With the aid of a grant from the local "Communities First," Geraint Vaughan Jones was able to edit and publish it. Very well illustrated, this forms a unique and valuable record of flies, principally for trout but also including patterns for sea-trout and salmon, many of them unique to this area. Only 500 copies of this first edition, written in the Welsh language, were printed and it sold out within a fortnight. It has since become very hard to find. An English language edition was published a year later by Coch-y-Bonddu Books, Machynlleth. .
