| Gill, Emyln M. – PRACTICAL DRY FLY FISHING – 1915 2nst edition – 216p - Scribner & Son, NY – This is the first American work devoted entirely to fishing the dry fly. The author here expands on his 1911 Field & Stream articles that introduced American anglers to the challenges and delights of the heretofore British practice of dry-fly fishing. Contains hints on fly use in rough-water streams and placid river pools; considers the difference in wilderness fishing from taking "educated trout" from much-fished streams; discusses casting methods. – Book exhibits some spotting of unknown origin on the front cover, otherwise the book is very good. - $55.00 |
