Dry-Fly Fishing - With 18 Illustrations and Numerous Diagrams

Dry fly-fishing is an fishing method involving an artificial lure which floats on the surface of the water without getting wet. Originally designed for trout fishing, it is usually considered to be the ultimate fishing technique due to its difficulty in manual skill and the required understanding of the fish and its environment. This vintage book contains a complete guide to this particular mode of angling, written in simple language and profusely illustrated throughout. “Dry-Fly Fishing” will appeal to anglers new and old with an interest in this style, and it is not to be missed by the discerning collector of vintage angling literature. Contents include: “The Object of Fishing”, “The Necessity for the Dry-fly”, “Objections Answered”, “Advantages”, “The Apparatus”, “A Little Entomology”, “Floating Flies”, “Instructions”, “Tactics”, “Drag”, “On Wading”, “Trout-Stalking”, “Dapping”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the history of fishing.
