Abstract
(1) THE rules of fly-fishing are largely empirical and although the dry-fly purist is often no mean entomologist, the immediate aim of an angler is to present a fly to a fish as simply and as unobtrusively as he can; if he succeeds, he seldom worries about the fundamental principles involved, and is content to be frankly anthropomorphic in his outlook to the whole of the piscine world. Seldom, if ever, does an angler consider the point of view of the fish.
