Minor tactics of the chalk stream and kindred studies by G. E. M. Skues
"Minor Tactics of the Chalk Stream and Kindred Studies" by G. E. M. Skues is a fly fishing book published in 1910. While acknowledging F. M. Halford's dry-fly dominance, Skues quietly launches a revolution to restore wet-fly fishing to England's chalk streams. Through careful observation and experimentation, he challenges the rigid orthodoxy that had banished this ancient technique, developing methods for fishing beneath the surface that would prove as difficult and delicate
as any purist could demand. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
