"A placid stream, late evening and a big trout is rising steadily on the fringes of a willow tree. A dry fly is tied on the tippet. Down it floats with the current towards the surface-skimming branches. A wagtail hovers dangerously close and then the big, black neb of the trout breaks the water. The line is tight, the rod hoops and the reel screams. No wonder the dry fly is the world’s favourite tactic."
