Few books have had a more lasting influence on American dry-fly fishing than Vincent C. Marinaro's A Modern Dry-Fly Code.
First published in 1950, this remarkable work challenged many established ideas about trout, artificial flies and their presentation. Drawing upon his observations of the limestone streams of Pennsylvania, Marinaro developed a thoughtful and systematic approach to the behaviour of selective trout and the insects upon which they feed.
His observations of the trout's feeding position, the appearance of natural insects upon the water and the importance of accurate presentation helped shape the development of modern dry-fly fishing.
Rather than offering merely a collection of patterns and techniques, Marinaro encouraged anglers to observe more closely, question accepted conventions and approach the river with a naturalist's curiosity.
This is the Nick Lyons paperback edition of Marinaro's classic, offering an accessible opportunity to study one of the defining texts of twentieth-century American fly fishing.
Condition: Like new and unread.
An essential addition to the working library of the thoughtful trout angler, and a particularly fitting companion to the writings of Frederic M. Halford, G.E.M. Skues and Charles Ritz.
For collectors seeking a more distinguished presentation, Alder Creek also offers a limited leather-bound edition of A Modern Dry-Fly Code (1996) , published by the Flyfisher's Classic Library in an edition of 500 copies.
