Hard cover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Third Printing. A Modern Dry-Fly Code has been described as "the best angling work of the last half century" and "the first original American contribution to fly fishing." It is a towering classic - intense, knowledgeable, and written with exacting care. Forty-seven years ago, when it was first published, it was far ahead of its time; today its insights into the behavior patterns of insects and feeding trout, its development of new and highly effective fly-fishing techniques, and its dramatic innovations in dry-fly dressing will remain valid and highly effective. Marinaro's reevaluation of the importance of terrestrial insects and his development of such patterns as the Jassid, the Ant, and the Pontoon Hopper expand the fly-fishing season far beyond the traditional period. His patterns, shown in full color, are widely acclaimed and used with striking success throughout the country. His valuable streamside studies remain models for anyone who would observe the most mysterious and intriguing of fish - the trout. Finally, A Modern Dry-Fly Code presents the first complete treatise on America's now-famous limestone waters, a generous ratio of practical lore and engaging reminiscence, and a profound rationale for the art of fly fishing. (53/4 X 81/2, 298 pages, color photos, b&w photos, illustrations). "While Vince was not the most prolific angling author what he wrote is among the most profound and insightful in all of fly fishing literature. In his book, American Fly Fishing, A History, angling historian Paul Schullery made the following comments on the importance of Vincent C. Marinaro to the angling world."But for sheer originality and literary quality, no book of this era approached Vincent Marinaro's A Modern Dry-Fly Code [1950]. Marinaro's book, based on decades of experience on the Letort, Big Spring, and other south Pennsylvania streams, amounted to a substantial rethinking of traditional dry-fly definitions. Not only did he espouse a much broader imitation base including many terrestrials, he reconsidered the structure of the dry fly as it had been developed for mayflies. In all cases, his modifications, though they may not have converted the majority of anglers, found enduring niches in fly theory. Rarely has a fly-fishing writer ventured to change so much and lived to see his work recognized and incorporated into the body of fly-fishing practice." [American Fly-Fishing, Paul Schullery, Page 197-198].
