From Library Journal
The history of fly-fishing begins with wet flies, but in this country wets haven't made much headway against the popularity of dries. One reason is that they often imitate adult insects, which appear mostly on or above the surface of the water; another is that they have been fished wrongly. With three decades of fishing experience and coursework in aquatic entymology, plus leading workshops across the country and writing four books on fly fishing tactics, Hughes (Fly Fishing Basics, Stackpole, 1994) here does what he values in others: instructs and enthuses. He explains subsurface insect behavior, extensively covers fishing literature and history, presents detailed instruction on materials and tying, and teaches presentation-all with numerous photos, drawings, and 24 pages of color plates (not seen by this reviewer). Carefully researched and well written, this volume should be useful to all fly fishers and the libraries serving them.

"Over the years" the author discovered "that he was constantly running into situations where the best match for the hatch was wet fly. .Hughes began to question the commonly held principle that a trout willing to strike a dry fly was wasted if taken any other way, and he began a systematic look at all the stages of insects that were best matched with subsurface patterns. .His years of study, research, and writing have resulted in a new, important [work] on the subject of wet flies." Chapters include: The subsurface fly and the natural insect; Looking into literature; How it happened in America; Soft-hackles, flymphs, winged wets, and fuzzy nymphs; Tying soft-hackeld flies; Tying wingless wets, flymphs; Tying traditional winged wets; Tying fuzzy nymphs; Tackle for fishing subsurface flies; Tishing the surface and just below it; Methods for the mid-depths; Four men and their methods; Fishing small creeks with subsurface flies; Stages of the mayfly; Emergence and egg-laying activity of caddis; Subsurface secrets of stoneflies; Matching midges; Alders, and others; Arriving at your own patterns. .
