of angler. I insist that I do not make my words 

 too strong when I say that in all of angling there 

 is no greater delight than that which comes to 

 the dry fly angler who simulates a hatch of flies, 

 and entices to the surface of the water a fish 

 lying hidden, unseen, in the stronghold of his 

 own selection. Let him who doubts put aside 

 his prejudice long enough to give the premier 

 method fair trial, and soon he will be found 

 applying for the highest degree of the cult 

 "dry fly man."
