Review:

"In my opinion, [Ernest Schwiebert] was the most important figure of the 20th century in the fly-fishing world." --Howell Raines, Pulitzer Prize-winner and former executive editor, "New York Times"

"Just as nymphs and other aquatic macroinvertebrates are the ecological foundation of our trout streams, Schwiebert's classic book is the foundation of any well-educated angler's understanding of those waters. No other angling treatise provides as comprehensive a view of what occurs beneath the stream's surface as his." Charles Gauvin, President and CEO, Trout Unlimited"

"In my opinion, [Ernest Schwiebert]was the most important figure of the 20th century in the fly-fishing world." Howell Raines, Pulitzer Prizewinner andformer executive editor, New York Times"

"Ernie Schwiebert, or simply Ernie, or 'Ernesto' as he was known to the fly-fishing fraternity, was a larger-than-life character who set his stamp on fly fishing forever." John Randolph, editor, Fly Fisherman"

"Few books in the entire history of fishing literature have constituted such a startling advance. Nymphs now seems to me to stand alone as the most accomplished solo writer-artist contribution to fly-fishing literature. With words and art, this book opened the eyes of the next two generations of fly fishers"Paul Schullery, author, American Fly Fishing: A History"
