Oliver Kite's Nymph Fishing in Practice is one of the enduring works of twentieth-century British fly-fishing literature. First published in 1963, it offers a thoughtful and practical approach to fishing the artificial nymph, drawing upon Kite's close observation of trout, aquatic insects, and the behaviour of flies beneath the surface.
Kite was an influential angler, author and broadcaster whose methods helped establish nymph fishing as an essential part of the modern fly fisher's repertoire. His approach emphasised careful observation, accurate imitation and sensitive presentation rather than unnecessary complication.
This later edition reproduces the original 1963 text and introduces Kite's work to a new generation of readers. It includes colour photographs of his flies, a classification of natural nymphs and guidance on the essential characteristics of effective artificial imitations.
A valuable addition to the library of any thoughtful trout angler, and an engaging companion to the works of G.E.M. Skues and other pioneers of subsurface fly fishing.
