Softcover. Condición: Very Good. FISHES FLY-FISHINGThis is the book that revolutionisedÂthe way fly fishing is done. Originally written in 1972, Fishing the Dry Fly as a Living InsectÂ(nowÂFlutter, Skitter and Skim: Using the Living Insect as a Guide to Successful Fly Fishing) changed the method of fly fishing from one of casting the fly upstream and allowing it to "dead drift" with the current to including tactics that recreate the movement of an abundant aquatic insect-the caddis. Wright explains the behaviour of the caddis and the best tactics to take advantage of them.Although the book is about a then-revolutionary technique, there is more to the book than that which is why it is still of interest and worth reading. For example, the chapter The Track of The Trout shows "how rise-forms can often play a key part in helping you select the correct fly and make the appropriate presentation." -- Terry Lawton âÂFish and Fly, (Uk)Though retitled, this is the original text, full of fishing and fly-tying advice and a deep appreciation of time spent beside swift streams and placid pools. âÂGreenville NewsThis is a fly fishing classic of sorts, written when, as the author recalls, "the idea of fishing the dry fly in any way other than Halford's dead drift was heretical."pp. 192 #270923 (Note: (Light insect [?] edge - wear to prelims.)
