The Dry Fly Fast Water - Fishing with the Floating Fly on American Trout Streams, Together with Some Observations on Fly Fishing in General by George M. L. La Branche Pdf

Originally published in 1914, “The Dry Fly and Fast Water” is a complete guide to fly fishing, with simple instructions and helpful tips from a life-long fly fisher. A charming handbook interwoven with personal anecdotes and expert insights, this vintage book will be of considerable value to both beginner and seasoned fisher alike, and it is not to be missed by collectors. Contents include: “Early Experiences”, “The Value of Observation”, “The Rise”, “Where and When to Fish”, “The Imitation of the Natural Insect”, “Some Fancies—Some Facts”, “The Point of View”, “A Few Patterns of Flies”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the history of fishing.

The Dry Fly and Fast Water by George La Branche Pdf

The Dry Fly and Fast Water was written to fill a need created by the coming of the brown trout to America. The British flies and methods that followed it over here proved inapplicable. Therefore, it remained for fishing expert George La Branche to promulgate a new, distinctly American school of dry-fly angling. The proof of its validity is that today it is still widely practiced here. This remains one of the great classics of American fishing literature, covering everything from wonderfuldescriptions of fish behavior to details of the insects they feed on and the artificial flies that imitate those foods.

The Dry Fly and Fast Water by George Michel Lucien La Branche Pdf

For the first time ever in the world of fly fishing, a classic work has been updated into a fully illustrated, modern format. This new volume of The Dry Fly and Fast Water The Dry Fly and Fast Water established George La Branche conservationist, angler, naturalist as a man ahead of his time. In this landmark work his instructions on reading the water and presentation (explaining such techniques as the bounce cast, line control, and 'creating a hatch'), and his descriptions of rise forms and how to read them are all as fresh today as they were more than eighty years ago. In fact, his discussion of fishing a dry fly on fast water heresy when he wrote it has not been improved upon in the modern literature. Any angler who reads this book whether rank novice or seasoned expert and applies La Branche's wisdom will catch more fish on the dry fly.

The Dry Fly and Fast Water; Fishing with the Floating Fly on American Trout Streams by George Michel Lucien La Branche Pdf

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1914 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER IV WHERE AND WHEN TO FISH The swift streams in the eastern part of the United States must, as a rule, be fished by wading. Where it is possible, because of the absence of trees and brush, to fish from the bank, the angler's form is silhouetted sharply against the background of sky, and, to overcome this disadvantage, he must retire some distance from the edge of the bank, or, if he wishes to come closer, must kneel or crouch to avoid being seen by the fish. By casting from the bank he will avoid the disturbance of the water necessarily made by entering it, and this is, of course, an advantage. On the other hand, he is closer to the surface of the stream while wading, in which position he is not so easily seen, which is also an advantage. Offsetting the latter, however, is the commotion made by his movements, which, no matter how deliberate, will make the trout nervous or apprehensive of approaching danger. If he has shown himself, even though the fish has been vigorously feed 87 ing, he might just as well abandon any attempt to induce a rise, because the trout, having been warned by his careless approach, will have scurried away. The danger of putting down a fish in swift water is not so great because the ripples sent in advance of the angler make little headway and travel no great distance against a strong current. To describe places where trout may be looked for under any and all circumstances, is practically impossible. Very often the fish will not be found where the angler thinks they should be. They are as full of notions and idiosyncrasies as anglers themselves, and one may hope to become familiar with their habitat in a general way only, and this after close study. I say "in a general way," because, while a big trout may...

The Dry Fly and Fast Water by George LaBranche Pdf

From my earliest boyhood I have been devoted to the fly fisher's art and not a season has passed without having the pleasure of casting a fly. During the early years I fished my flies wet or sunk. I had read about the dry fly and knew that England was its place of origin. The use of the dry fly on streams in this country has not been common.Many expert wet fly anglers in this country use a floating fly but most only on water where they consider it may be more effective than the wet fly - usually upon the quiet surface of a pool or on flat, slow water. For many years I was one of those who firmly believed that only the smooth, slow stretches of a stream could be fished successfully with the dry fly. Experience, however, has taught me that the dry fly, skillfully handled, is applicable to any part of a swift stream short of a perpendicular waterfall. It is not my purpose to contend that the dry fly is more effective than the wet fly, although I do believe that, under certain conditions, the dry fly will take fish that may not be taken in any other manner. I do contend, however, that a greater fascination attends its use. All game birds are pursued with the same weapon, but the more difficult birds to kill have the greater attraction for sportsmen; and my predilection for the dry fly is based on the same principle.
