"George Daniel is destined to become one the United States' very greatest of fly-fishing talents. In my humble opinion there is no one better placed or equipped to take the modern reader into the world of the subsurface fly fisher. Daniel is one of the most authoritative and insightful anglers of his generation." (Charles Jardine). NB. The true first edition was issued with the title-page verso giving a complete series of reprint numbers (this copy), in the usual manner whilst the subsequent reprint had a number missing from the series of reprint numbers, as expected. After this came a reprint showing no series of reprint numbers at all, and above the blank space where the numbers should have been, the words, "First Edition."
