This book "can fairly claim to rank as the first book on trout fishing to reduce to a scientific system the use of nymphal representations in rough rivers. This system of using nymphs intelligently, while set forth in no dogamtic terms, follows what takes place in Nature, and, on that sure basis contains a clear message for all progressive fly-fishermen." Chapters include; Life history and study of the Ephemeroptera; Nymphal representation; Chalk stream practice and rough river practice; The use of the nymph in rough rivers; Rivercraft; The scope of the use of the nymph; Sundry notes on nymphs.
