"The River Test is the most famous chalkstream in the world. The Houghton Club is the best known ...flyfishing club ...which ...has played host to the likes of J.M.W. Turner, Sir Francis Chantrey, Arthur Rackham, Sir Edwin Landseer and ...Dwight Eisenhower. ...Since [1887] the responsibility for the Houghton Club's fifteen miles of the Middle Test has been passed from father to son for three uninterrupted generations. In those hundred and more years they have contributed significantly to the art of riverkeeping, the science of fly recognition and fly tying, and introduced revolutionary techniques in fish farming." This book, written by the third of this dynasty, "is a treasure house of nostalgia; a guide to dry fly technique [and] an up to the minute history of modern flyfishing."
