The author prescribes flies for nearly every combination of weather and water and describes in exact detail the materials and methods for tying them. This is fololowed up by the even more important business of presenting these flies to the trout. Throughout there are first-hand examples of what can happen in actual fishing conditions. There are no abstract theories, no hearsay opinions and, with a few exceptions, no slavish following of standard fly patterns. Frederick Mold has fished rivers and reservoirs in many parts of England and Wales and has devised his own flies and used them with success in all seasons and conditions. Any angler who follows the author’s precepts is likely to improve his catches.
