Someone told me this was the "Old Testament" of angling literature and I think that's a pretty apt description. Fascinating in some parts, dull in others. With plenty of time-honored, fundamental truths undeniably scattered throughout but also lengthy sections - mostly about equipment - that are now completely outdated though still valuable from a historical perspective. Overall, very well written with lots of great stories and even a fair amount of humor mixed in. Deserving of its status as a 'classic' IMHO.

This is a great old time Trout Fishing Book. The author is a well known angler and writer. He wrote the fishing column for Outdoor Life Magazine for many years.
A feature of this book is the colorful illustrations. Plates of dry, wet and streamer flies are a colorful addition to this book. Ray is a great writer and can help any of us anglers to improve our technique and enjoyment in the outdoors when fishing.
