Interesting Dry-Fly Boohs 



press, "The Dry-Fly Man's Hand- 

 book." Among other English books 

 interesting to the dry-fly angler may 

 be mentioned: "The Book of the Dry- 

 Fly," G. A. B. Dewar, 1896; "The 

 Science of Dry-Fly Fishing and Sal- 

 mon-Fly Casting," Fred. G. Shaw, 

 1907, and "Dry-Fly Fishing for Trout 

 and Grayling," by "Red Quill" (James 

 Englefield), 1908. 



Angling history does not inform us 

 how long the dry-fly has been used, in 

 its very limited way, upon American 

 streams. The author has read many 

 American works on angling, and the 

 first reference to genuine dry-fly fishing 

 that he has so far discovered in an 

 American book is a short description of 

 English chalk stream methods in Dr. 

 Edward Breck's "The Way of the 

 Woods," pubUshed in 1908.
