Synopsis
Excerpt from The Dry Fly and Fast Water: Fishing With the Floating Fly on American Trout Streams, Together With Some, Observations on Fly Fishing in General
To expound a theory into willing ears upon a trout stream is one thing; to put those same ideas into writing so that they may be intel ligently conveyed to one who reads them is quite a different thing. Of this I am convinced. However this may be, my readiness to do the one induced in some of my angling friends the belief that I could do the other. They insisted that I try - and this book is the result. My ex perience in preparing these pages has filled me with the profoundest respect for those persons who may be truthfully characterised as authors. I began the work with a good deal of timidity, and, as it now appears to me, considerable temerity. After completing the task to the best of my ability I submitted the manuscript to some of my credulous friends. Strange to say, after reading it, even then they insisted that I publish it. By this decision it seems to me they proved two things - their friendship for me and their absolute unfitness to be literary critics.
