The Way Of A Trout With A Fly

The Way Of A Trout With A Fly, by G.E.M Skues.

Skues's book is a masterful blend of technical instruction, philosophical musings, and engaging fishing stories. He was one of the first to seriously challenge the dry-fly-only orthodoxy of the era, arguing that fishing with sub-surface imitations, or nymphs, was often more effective. The book is lauded for its meticulous observations on trout behavior, particularly how they feed on aquatic insects beneath the surface. Skues provides both a scientific and artistic case for his methods, explaining in detail how to tie and present a nymph to a feeding trout. For any serious angler interested in the history and evolution of fly fishing, this book is an essential read that remains relevant and insightful today.
