Abstract
THOSE who fish for trout with a fly will find that this book raises most of those problems which anglers debate so earnestly, if sleepily, after a day by the river. Mr. Skues claims no finality in his solutions, but that is not the only or the chief objective. His work is in the true line of descent from Izaak Walton and the Dame—that of one who loves and observes most patiently the secret processes of fish-life in our chalk-streams.
