Dry fly fishing in the Scottish Borders". I still see so many fly fishers on the Border fishing down stream with wet flies under nearly hopeless conditions, in June, July, and August, that I believe a great many mistaken ideas still prevail as to the difficulties of dry-fly fishing and the special tackle necessary for it; hence some account embodying an experience of nearly ten years of exclusively dry-fly fishing on Border waters may be of interest". Chapters include:- Dry fly and wet fly; Dry-fly fishing; Flies - real and artificial; The feeding of trout; About tackle, with some remarks on border fishing; Dry-fly fishing on the Borders.
