Brook and river trouting : A manual of modern north country methods, with coloured illustrations of flies and fly-dressing materials
by Harfield H. Edmonds, Norman N. Lee
About the author
Norman N. Lee is best known as the co-author, with Harfield H. Edmonds, of Brook and River Trouting: A Manual of Modern North Country Methods. First published in 1916, the book became an enduring work in fly-fishing literature and is still widely reprinted for modern readers.
The book focuses on trout fishing in the North Country tradition, blending practical instruction with close attention to flies, tackle, and streamcraft. Its lasting reputation suggests that Lee helped create a guide valued not just as a period piece, but as a useful and enjoyable resource for anglers across generations.
Reliable biographical details about Lee himself are hard to confirm from the sources I found, so much of his life remains obscure. What is clear is that his name has stayed in circulation through a book that continues to hold an important place in classic angling writing.
