In Hardys pattern list you can find many good patterns that are more or less forgotten. perhaps you can find the pattern that will save your Salmon fishing season. John James Hardy, a well-known skilled salmon angler, know which pattern was good in off to be in his book.
I have chosen to publish the pattern list as it is written in the book, so you can se how a pattern list could look like in the past. It’s not difficult to understand if you give it a try.You can either choose to look at the full list or in alphabetically order. No matter how you choose, you will se the abbreviations at the beginning of the pattern list.

In the book there is a list of tools and materials necessary for beginners as well.
