The Durham
Ranger was one of Kelson's claims to fame. Kelson came to prominence in 1883, following his appearance on a judging panel at the Great Exhibition, a display of flies that he tied, and correspondence that followed in the Fishing Gazette. Following that he wrote for the Fishing Gazette, before breaking away to edit Land and Water. He published a very successful series of cards showing salmon flies, the series running from 1886 to 1902 (now much sought after, even single cards are scarce, let alone the complete series.) |
