About this title

Synopsis

Nymph fishing started and was developed in England and then spread, along with nymph patterns, around the world through the writings of Skues and others and the travels of English anglers.

In this book the author covers the developments in the USA, Australia, New Zealand and Europe. Terry Lawton has written the definitive history of nymph fishing and the book includes many previously unpublished photographs
