A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from The Science of Dry Fly Fishing

While our sporting instincts will be aroused by the difficulties and thrilled by the triumphs of fly fishing, the artistic and poetic side of our temperament will be as strongly appealed to, and affected, by the surroundings of the salmon rivers and trout streams on which our fly may be cast.

The salmon river will inspire the soul with the strength and force of its beauty, and invigorate the body with the health-giving scent of its pine forests and heather; the trout stream will charm our mind, and lull our senses into delicious content, as we listen to the rippling note of its liquid harmony and inhale the delicate perfume of its thousand surrounding flowers.
