More Information
George Selwyn Marryat was the man who, according to Halford, father of the dry fly, taught him everything he knew about tying flies. He was friends with Halford, Francis Francis & William Senior - but because he was reluctant to write he has received less attention than he deserves. This biography sets that right - it is a fascinating history of a skilled fly fisherman & fly tyer, from his early days fishing in Dorset, to his years in the army in India & Australia, & back to his trout fishing in the UK.
