Leonard M. Wright Jr. was born in Boston but caught his first trout in Wyoming at age six. His articles have appeared in Esquire, Field & Stream, and American Sportsman. He now lives in upstate New York in the summers and in Islamorada, Florida in the winters.
Although the book is about a then-revolutionary technique, there is
more to the book than that which is why it is still of interest and
worth reading. For example, the chapter The Track of The Trout
shows "how rise-forms can often play a key part in helping you
select the correct fly and make the appropriate presentation."
*Fish and Fly, (Uk)*
Though retitled, this is the original text, full of fishing and
fly-tying advice and a deep appreciation of time spent beside swift
streams and placid pools.
*Greenville News*
This is a fly fishing classic of sorts, written when, as the author
recalls, "the idea of fishing the dry fly in any way other than
Halford's dead drift was heretical."
