Koch, Ed – TERRESTRIAL FISHING – 1990 1st edition – 169p – Stackpole, Harrisburg – The imitation of land insects is not a new idea, ant, grasshoppers, beetles and other non-aquatic insects have brought anglers success for centuries. But only recently have these insects begun to form a major part of the fly fisher’s arsenal. The modern “terrestrial movement” started in the late 1940s of the limestone rivers of Pennsylvania and has spread throughout the world. Ed Koch has been a major contributor to the development of the new terrestrials and with this book shares a wealth of information on the patterns – how they came about, how to tie them and how to use them to take trout. Ed has a flowing style of writing and along with his expert tips and detailed tying instructions, he includes wonderful anecdotes about angling with some of fly fishing’s greatest luminaries such as Lee Wulff, Charlie Fox, Vince Marinaro and Lefty Kreh. This is a book you can both learn from and enjoy. – Signed and Inscribed by author with a signed personal card laid in. – Book is fine plus in fine plus dust jacket. - $45.00
