For 25 years he has scoured the limestone streams of central Pennsylvania, gathering and cataloging specimens, studying them under the microscope, and creating patterns to match every nuance of color, structure, and size. No one is as adept at fishing midges as Ed Koch, who literally wrote the book on the subject.

[Marc · Rating 4 out of 5]

Interesting read but different focus on priorities.

Author had high importance on fly color and size and very little information about the most important thing, presentation. The dairy on his fishing was very interesting to me since I fish those same waters.
