A remarkable survivor from the golden age of angling — a cloth-bound Alfred Ronalds “companion” trout fly wallet, complete with thirty-five parchment packets containing a full selection of numbered Ronalds and Francis Francis trout flies, each tied to gut.
Organized by month, from March through September, every fly corresponds to Ronalds’ classic recommendations — a time capsule of Victorian fishing lore and gentlemanly precision.
In very good condition for its age, this is more than a fishing accessory; it’s a piece of natural history and craftsmanship, carrying the quiet poetry of rivers long since fished.
