CM you can check what Guides you have by the posts with their images in, such as this:


http://traditionalfisherman.com/viewtop ... 230&t=1631

The rising trout is indeed 1955, the blue perch is 1951 and 'line drawings' one sounds like '59.


There are 'proofs' for dating them them all hidden away in the text.

In the above images the third column from the left lists the page numbers containing the proof of year.

My post has been edited accordingly. It should be comprehensive and correct. Thanks for the tip regarding the other thread listing the guides by image.
