5.0 out of 5 stars
Still the definitive work,
This review is from: A Modern Dry-Fly Code (Hardcover)
While this book is now 50 years old, it is still the definitive American work on spring creek fishing. At the time of the writing, it is true, Marinaro was unaware of U.S. spring creeks outside of Pennsylvania, this does not diminish its value.He realized that this type of fishing was firmly rooted in the 19th century English chalkstream traditions, and built a solid work upon this foundation. Some of what he says, in reference to flies, is either dated or irrelevant to most anglers, and his neglect of the sunken fly will disappoint a few, but his tactics cannot be faulted. Indeed, strategies touted as the most modern are clearly described, along with their pros and cons, unlike the treatment given them in some current works. A fine piece of literature, as well as one of the most significant angling books of the 2oth century. |
