| Summary | "A Concise Practical Treatise on Artificial Fly Fishing for Trout" by Grey Drake is a fishing manual written in the late 19th century. This instructional book serves as a guide for aspiring anglers who wish to learn the art of fly fishing specifically for trout. The author, a seasoned fly fisher with over fifty years of experience, aims to share his knowledge in a straightforward, practical manner without overwhelming readers with unnecessary details. In this treatise, Drake covers essential techniques and equipment for successful fly fishing, including the type of tackle required, how to tie on hooks, and the proper casting techniques. He emphasizes the importance of skill over the specific flies used, arguing that the size of the fly is far more critical than its shape or color. Throughout the chapters, Drake offers valuable observations based on his extensive experience, discusses alternate methods like dibbing, and provides tips for reading the water and understanding fish behavior. Overall, this book is a practical resource geared toward beginners, helping them to navigate the nuances of the sport and improve their chances of success on the water.
