Minor tactics of the chalk stream and kindred studies
George Edward Mackenzie Skues
Beneath the glassy surface of a chalk stream, trout are feeding on drowned flies no one had thought to imitate. G. E. M. Skues watches the stages of a rising hatch and rewrites the rules of fishing the sunk fly. Quietly revolutionary, it launched a lasting argument in angling. Wade in with the thinker who changed how the world fly-fishes.
