Everyone i fish with has a Charles story & i finaly got to meet the man himself in November 2010. His humour,warmth and knowledge are a wonder to behold. Although 20 years old this book still is as relavant today as then, although the tackle has moved on. Also the hair style(charles with a mullet, not the fish either). The pictures are as you expect wonderful. The line drawings perfect.The contents well set out. With the fly designs they are tied with proper materials.No fritz in sight.A wonderful book.If you want 1 fly fishing book, get this one.Someone said "haveing a fly rod is just an excuse for being there", this book shows you why.
Great to catch up with a classic book on fly fishing. I hadn't read really anything on fly fishing for 50 years and having started to get my fishing gear sorted I figured I should read Trout and Salmon magazine and then heard about this book during a webinar. I'm glad I did - the science and art come together beautifully in this fine book written by Charles Jardine from the Dorland Kingsley stable.
