"This is the first book to be published for thirty years on dry fly fishing for salmon. Since the publication of the author's letters in Hugh Falkus's Salmon Fishing, there has been a renewed interest in this method. The author describes the special techniques he has developed, based on the experience he has gained whilst fishing his own river in Scotland." Knowles' technique has an emphasis on a particular dry fly for salmon - his own Yellow Dolly. Chapters include: Dry fly fishing for salmon; Creating the fly; Tying the fly; Fishing the Yellow Dolly; Fishing a sub-surface fly; Temparature and conditions; Experiences; Canada; Reflections and experiments.
