199575829Lakewood CO: Self published ca. 1995. Modern three ring black binder with 73 original color photographs of flies tied by Barnard all neatly annotated at the bottom of each page in manuscript. All photographs are tipped onto a gray sheet of paper each of which is in turn is placed into a plastic sleeve. Five of the photographs were done by Wyoming fly-tier Marvin Nolte probably used as models for some of Bernard's creations. Included in the front pocket is a price guide of Barnard flies and his business name appears to be “Barnard Fishfeathers and Wood†and laid in are two printed articles about Barnard and his creations. Very good condition. Likely the only copy.When one looks at his price list one see prices of $150 to $200 for a single fly one is taken back a bit as 30 years ago $1.25 would have bought you a nicely-tied fly. As a fly fisher in days gone by this was surprising to me until I read the article enclosed. Gary Barnard was a graphic designer and sculptor in wood for 25 years before giving up his business and opening “Barnard Fishfeathers and Wood†in Lakewood CO in 1990. The reason for the incredible pricing is that Barnard was not making flies to be used for fishing but was constructing these very intricate and beautiful flies and using wood as his only medium in very imposing designs as sculptures. In a standard fly the 'wings' are made from parts of birds feather but even here Bernard used wood. Surely an incredible time-consuming process. Two photographs are no longer present and they appea to have been removed on purpose as Barnard likely didn't want to continue that design. In essence he was selling wooden sculptures of flies priced at $200; a bargain really as Barnard was a serious artist a very skilled woodworker a graphic designer and a serious fly fisherman. These were surely meant to be proudly displayed on mantelpieces and the like. Looking on the internet I could not find a single example for sale. Self published unknown

1917List1730Chicago: Poole Brothers 1917. Folding map measuring 38 ½ x 26 ¾ inches. Tape repairs to verso some tears at folds and edges still bring and attractive good to very good overall with excellent restoration potential. A map of the canneries in Alaska British Columbia and Washington operated by the Deming and Gould Company who were influential in the growth of the Alaskan salmon trade. The map’s date of printing 1917 suggests that perhaps it was related to the war effort as salmon demand increased during this period. The Demings based in Chicago were influential in the growth of the salmon trade in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest founding Pacific American Fisheries Inc. in 1899 and continuing in various iterations until their sale of the firm in 1934 due to president E.B. Deming’s ailing health. The map shows seventeen different canneries several on the Alaska peninsula and the one in Bellingham. We find no record of this imprint only a later and small version held at the University of Washington. Poole Brothers unknown

This exceptional photo album documents the camping boating fishing & hunting activities of visitors to Henry Hanson’s Squirrel Lake Resort in the early 1900’s after the opening of the Wisconsin Northwoods to tourists. The “Good Roads†movement and encouragement of improved highways and railroad expansion opened the area featuring fabulous fishing beautiful forests mild summer weather and stunning fall colours drawing in Presidents movie stars gangsters and families to Squirrel Lake resorts with resorts such as Hanson’s offering cabins for rent by the week hot meal dining boat rentals dock usage and hunting & fishing guides. This album opens with images of the resort including one handcoloured featuring waving stars & stripes flag boat sheds and canoes pulled up on the beach. Many of the images feature iconic Progressive Era views of families setting on the rustic cabin porches standing beside camp tents and rowing on the lake. Also featured are views of rowers seated in boats proud women & men holding their large Pike Bass & Muscallonge fish caught women & men hunters with shotguns picnic scenes and the bucolic backdrop of the resort. A series of photos reveal the transport of the Squirrel Lake Resort visitors from train station in horse-drawn covered wagon and automobile with one image showing three generations seated on their luggage at the depot. The names of the rustic cottages included “Skin Walk Cottage†and “Ma-Ow-Is†while the erected tents provided extra space. Hanson 1858-1951 moved to Minocqua WI in 1893 where he drove a livery team and by 1912 had established his resort on 37 acres on the shores of Squirrel Lake featuring a main lodge and adding cabins and other buildings from time to time set amidst a rustic setting of Pine Hemlock and Birch Trees on the East Shore of the Lake able to house up to 35 guests. His cabins were lighted by electricity supplied with running water shower baths and the excellent cuisine was furnished by the onsite orchards gardens and Jersey dairy cattle with large poultry supply as well. Initially named “Forest Home†by 1912 it had become Squirrel Lake Resort and he would continue operating it until 1936 when he sold the resort to Ed Perreault. Although we were unable to find a reference to the photographer D.E. Kennedy in local Minocqua WI directories or Wisconsin & Illinois photography references a few of the photos in this album are similar to a couple of the contemporary unsigned real photo postcard images in institutional and private holdings.

This splendid Edwardian photo album documents the salmon fishing adventures and scenic excursions by the photographer through the pastoral Wye Valley just a few years before the outbreak of World War I. At the beginning of the 20th century the Wye River was considered to be one of the best rivers for salmon fishing in the United Kingdom outside of Scotland and this fishermen definitely enjoyed the beauty and catch to be found. These images capture a largely undeveloped and pastoral Symonds Yat and Wye Valley as it winds along the borders of Herfordshire Gloucestershire and Monmouthshire. Bowman has included images of side-trips along the River Monnow views of mills Llandogo the Hutsham Bridge Grosmont Castle Tintern Abbey the Devil’s Chimney at the Yat Wye Valley ruin of the Llancault Church the oldest house in Monmouth winter floods at the junction of the Monnow and the Wye Rivers winter rapids and more. Also included are scenes of salmon from the Wye the rod and reels used photos of fisherman casting into the Monnow River landing a salmon and even image of fisherman holding two large salmon while braced against a roadside hedge. The salmon fishery on the Wye held up through much of the 20th century before a precipitous decline in the 1980s and 1990s however due to extensive habitat improvement work carried out by the Wye & Usk Foundation to restore spring salmon runs the run has once again climbed but not to the levels of the early 20th century.

005051No Place: No Publisher Printed broadside approximately 280mm x 185mm in size no publisher no place Alnwick or date but circa 1855. Very lightly browned minor creasing from folds a couple of spots of foxing with a small nick to left hand side name and address in ink to reverse with minor bleed through otherwise fairly clean. Relates to a dispute between local fishermen and the local landowner over fees paid to the Craster family for access to the haven and for beaching their boats. In 1844 four fisherman refused to pay the fees and were sued in 1854 by the landowner. The court initially found in favour of the landowner but it appears that a compromise was reached in 1855.

171521179London 1715. Broadsheet. 1p. plus printed docket title on verso. Disbound. Small folio. Early folds and early stab holes in left margin. Mild foxing. A rare British leaflet from the Fishmonger-Smackman Controversy of 1715. That year a bill was in motion before Parliament that would regulate various aspects of the fishing industry including fish size net use and mesh size and the importation of lobster. The latter issue ignited a significant controversy between and among British fish merchants and lobstermen with the most vocal merchants supporting a clause that would remove a ban on the sale of lobster caught by foreigners. In the present document the pro-free-trade-lobster fishmonger lobby responds to a recent leaflet by fellow fish merchants allied with the smackmen. An early example of commercial lobbying literature which first began proliferating in the lobby of the House of Commons at the time of the accession of King George I and the British general election of 1715.

171521182London 1715. Broadsheet. 1 p. plus printed docket title on verso. Disbound. Small folio. Early folds and early stab holes in left margin. Mild foxing. A rare petition to Parliament relating to a current bill concerning the mesh size of fishing nets used along the coast of Great Britain. The fishing lobby here argues that the clause limiting mesh size to four inches except for use with "Herrings Pilchards Sprats and Sardenas" will prevent the catching of various larger fish and lobster and thereby ruin much of the national fishing industry. They claim that the fishmongers who support the regulation would prefer "to bring in Foreign Fish caught in Foreign Bottoms" and profit from the higher prices. A leaflet published the same year entitled An Answer to the Case of the Coasting Fishermen indicates the present document was authored by the lobsterman lobby. An early example of commercial lobbying literature which first began proliferating in the lobby of the House of Commons at the time of the accession of King George I and the British general election of 1715.

197828869New York:: Dutton 1978. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine copy in a Near Fine clipped jacket with previous owner inscription on the flyleaf. This collection of fishing essays features pieces by Thomas McGuane William Hjortsberg Jack Curtis Harmon Henkin Charles Waterman Jim Harrison and Russell Chatham. Thomas McGuane cites both "the longest silence" and the opportunity to encounter a bass that runs with "the solid irresistible motion of a Euclid bulldozer easing itself into a phosphate mine." William Hjortsberg admits to writing about fishing "for the money" while Russell Chatham remembers each detail as if it were intended for one of his paintings. To Jack Curtis "The fish is a flash of beauty and action enticed from an unfathomable element"; to the late Harmon Henkin angling "has no greater claim to spiritual purity than sex dope or any other recreation in contemporary America." Charles Waterman points out that fishing writers' sunsets are generally "more brilliant than those seen by milkmen and grain-combine operators." Jim Harrison argues psychiatric virtues: "Few of us shoot ourselves during an evening hatch." Dutton, unknown
