Waltham's book is based on the work of Francis Francis (1822–1886), a prominent Victorian author and angling expert. He drew on the salmon fishing section of Francis's 1867 classic Book on Angling.
In his 1983 edition, Waltham edited the original text and added his own material to help modern fly tiers. This included:
Illustrations: New, detailed illustrations showing how to tie the flies.
Original artwork: Eight colour plates showing Francis's "splendidly attractive salmon flies".
Tying techniques: Additional material on modern tying techniques.
Pattern list: A comprehensive list of the fly patterns.
Biography: A biography of Francis Francis.
Legacy: The book is a respected reference for those interested in the history of salmon flies and their classic dressings.
