"The most discussed book of the year. Col. Harding has carried farther the investigations into under-water life on the lines initiated by Dr. Francis Ward. He founds on it a theory of fishing and fly tying which is intriguing and has certainly advanced our knowledge of the trout by a long stage. Though much of the matter is controversial, the book should be studied by fly fishers whose interest goes beyond the mere capture of fish." (Where To Fish 1932). In the final part of the book Harding discusses his views on many of the major angling works published during the previous hundred years.
