Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dry-Fly Fishing Those who have been fishing the floating fly for many years may be surprised to learn how much misconception exists regarding their favourite method. It is still looked upon in many quarters as something mysterious, something demanding superlative skill and even erudition, something applicable only to certain waters whereas the fact is that it is as simple as it is deadly, and more generally useful than any other.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dry-Fly Fisherman's Entomology The Introduction to this book was written ir. the year 1913. An explanation therefore becomes due, setting forth the reasons for so long a delay in its publication. Perhaps the chief cause has been the difficulty of finding an artist with sufficient technical skill who could and would undertake a task of such difficulty as the hand-colouring of the large number of coloured figures shown on the seventeen plates. The Author was particularly fortunate in securing the services of Mr. Banfield, who spared no pains in painting the original models from which the figures have been copied. Then the European war intervened, and Mr. Banfield proceeded on service before the task had been completed. Other delays arose by reason of the War: still more, again, by reason of the Peace. In these strenuous times, the difficulty of finding colourists willing to devote the time required for copying the minute details shown on the plates has become more and more accentuated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Science of Dry Fly Fisching 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Science of Dry Fly Fishing and Salmon Fly Fishing This consists, in the first place, in the life-history of the salmon, from the time it is deposited as ova by the parent fish in the redd until it attains its full grown state. I have ventured, when dealing with this interesting matter, to introduce some original theories as regards those questions which are still a subject of controversy. In the second place, I have dealt with the different methods of casting, and by plates and diagrams have endeavoured to show the various casts for presenting the lure to the salmon, and explained the methods to be adopted when actually fishing.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Development of the Dry Fly, the New Dry Fly Patterns, the Manipulation of Dressing Them and Practical Experiences of Their Use His persistent and logical advocacy of this theory impressed me very much, and impelled me to try and design a number of flies for use on the south country and other chalk streams which would carry out in detail his well-conceived ideas. He was one Who never spared himself whether in business or in sport, and being naturally a delicate man, his health unfortunately gave way under the strain, and on the zlst of March 1904 he passed away, to the intense grief of a large circle of sympathising friends. It should be recognised by one and all that any improvement in the sport of the dry-fly man effected by the use of these new patterns is primarily due to him as the originator of the idea, and I therefore think that the portrait of the late Edgar Williamson is the most appropriate frontispiece for this volume.

Download or read book The Dry Fly and Fast Water written by George Michel Lucien La Branche and published by Greycliff Publishing Company. This book was released on 1998 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time ever in the world of fly fishing, a classic work has been updated into a fully illustrated, modern format. This new volume of The Dry Fly and Fast Water The Dry Fly and Fast Water established George La Branche conservationist, angler, naturalist as a man ahead of his time. In this landmark work his instructions on reading the water and presentation (explaining such techniques as the bounce cast, line control, and 'creating a hatch'), and his descriptions of rise forms and how to read them are all as fresh today as they were more than eighty years ago. In fact, his discussion of fishing a dry fly on fast water heresy when he wrote it has not been improved upon in the modern literature. Any angler who reads this book whether rank novice or seasoned expert and applies La Branche's wisdom will catch more fish on the dry fly.

With anglers, talking shop is as dear as are the waterside pleasures of memory when the rod is resting and the season of retrospect has set in.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Fish the Dry Fly: Describing the Latest Up-to-Date Necessary Tackle, Its Cost, and Where to Get It and the Proper Method of Using It; A Description of the American and English Dry Flies; Also How to Fish Various Nymphs The dry fly has made rapid strides in the estimation of American trout fishermen during the last ten years, so that the new art is now widely known all over the continent, although it is not, as yet, practiced to any great extent, for the reason that method and special tools have not been fully described in a simple manner. I believe every thought ful trout angler wants to acquire the latest and best up-to date information about dry fly fishing so that he may learn to test his skill in this most satisfying branch in the art of angling.

Gill and George M. L. La Branche, who have described their Views with great detail and compared the difference in the method pursued in England, as well as by themselves on our own Streams. If it is the readers' desire to go fur ther, and study the art more thoroughly from the British standpoint, they Should get Halford's books from England.
