"Fishing with Floating Flies" by Samuel G. Camp is a comprehensive guide on dry fly fishing written in the early 20th century. This instructional volume is aimed primarily at beginners eager to learn the specialized art of fishing with floating flies, a method distinct to American waters presented through a contrast with traditional wet fly practices. It explores tackle selection, specific techniques, and the critical understanding of trout behavior. The opening of the book introduces readers to the necessity of proper equipment for successful fly fishing, particularly for the novice aiming to pivot from wet to dry fly approaches. Camp emphasizes that an understanding of the art requires both practice and knowledge of the trout's habits, as well as the intricacies of stream life. He highlights the differences between American and English dry fly methods, outlining the challenges and expectations that come with the craft, and sets the stage for further instruction on casting techniques and the importance of matching the fly to local insect life. Overall, the beginning portion serves as a foundational overview that entices aspiring anglers with the promise of rewarding and skillful fishing experiences.
