About the author
Norman N. Lee was an English angling writer, identified in booksellers' and specialist references as Norman Nellist Lee (1881–1951). He is chiefly remembered for co-writing Brook and River Trouting: A Manual of Modern North Country Methods with Harfield H. Edmonds, a book first published in 1916 and still noted by fly-fishing specialists as a landmark work on North Country trout fishing.
The book stands out for its practical approach and for the care it gave to traditional techniques, flies, and materials. That lasting reputation has made Lee's name familiar to generations of fly fishers, even though biographical details about him are relatively scarce in easily available sources.
Because so little well-sourced personal information was available in the material I could confirm here, it is safest to remember him mainly through his work: a writer who helped document a distinctive regional fishing tradition in a way that outlived him by many decades.
