Synopsis

Perfect for seasoned wet-fly anglers, this book explains a new approach to the sport by detailing dry-fly methods, making it beneficial for fly-fishing practitioners of all experience levels. At the onset of the 20th century, dry-fly fishing was primarily practiced in England but not yet widely known in America. This book presents a compelling case for American anglers to take up the more sportsmanlike, scientific, and artistic dry-fly technique that is notably effective on placid waters and turbulent streams alike. Tackling many misconceptions, the authors show that dry-fly fishing can be adapted to suit conditions on American rivers and streams. Detailing the specific tackle required, this book discusses fly sizes, tippet tapers, rod weights, lines, and leaders.
