In search of Halford

Article Abstract:

The full-length biography of F.M. Halford and his dedication to the development of dry flies and fishing techniques to match the hatches on British chalkstreams is presented. The biography written by Tony Hayter describes Halford as a total empiricist and as a man who spent his time observing onstream, studying the aquatic insects and the troutEs reaction rather than catching fishes.
