Condition: new. ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (New, Hardcover, 2008). 2008 1st edition thus. 16mo (105 x 159mm). Ppxviii,134,ads. B/w photographs, bibliography, black, decoratively grained end-papers. Powder-blue, decoratively grained paper-covered boards, spine titled in gilt. Fine new copy in dust-wrapper. Carefully selected excerpts from the writings of G.E.M. Skues. "George Edward Mackenzie Skues has been described not only as the father of nymph fishing, but as the greatest fly fisher who ever lived. He was also a modest, humorous and warmly companionable writer whose writings never lost sympathy for his fellow anglers. .Skues's books established him as a masterful angling theorist. .They revealed him to be an extraordinary observer of the trout's world. [This book] excerpts his pathbreaking observations and insights into how trout live. His study of wild trout was the most penetrating examination of trout-fishing natural history yet published - a brilliant work eloquently adapted to the needs of the fly fisher Skues had a rare gift for sifting through many generations' accumulation of opinion and advice, keeping only what was truly useful and adapting it to the needs of the modern angler in a rapidly changing world." A nicely designed and presented new abridgement which provides an excellent preliminary to further exploration of the work of GEM Skues. .
