Editorial Reviews

"A handful of books were responsible for shaping my angling development: Ted Leeson's Habit of Rivers, John Judy's Slackline Fishing, every book written by Gary Lafontaine, and Dave Hughes' Wet Flies. With respect to all these other authors, Wet Flies was the book that ignited my imagination in new and exciting ways, encouraging me to think beyond the dry fly and nymph...This is not a superficial revision, but rather contains substantial contributions to an already great work."
