Edn, 8vo. Illust. 138pp. D/J. Photographs by Kathryn Berlous Boyle. Dapping is a style of fly fishing that uses the wind, even a breeze, to
carry a fly that flies, quivers and
jumps exactly like the living insect. The
author examines this unusual but highly effective technique of fly fishing that
is popular in Scotland and Ireland and is attracting a large following in the
US. He gives details on how to rig and
fish a dapping rod equiped with a proper reel, backing, blowline and short leader and describes the
proven flies to use along with the materials needed and the tying procedures. -Very Fine
