This book details the methodical approach to wet-fly fishing as practiced in the early 20th century. Ewen M. Tod, an angler of the era, presents a comprehensive guide to this specific fishing technique. The text likely covers aspects such as fly selection, casting methods, reading water conditions, and the etiquette of the sport, all within the context of the technology and understanding of fishing prevalent in 1907.

This work is presented as a facsimile reprint of a scarce antiquarian text from 1907, indicating its value as a historical document in the field of angling. The publisher's commitment to preserving and promoting such literature suggests an appreciation for its cultural importance. The book's focus on a 'treated method' implies a systematic and instructional approach, likely appealing to serious anglers interested in historical techniques and the evolution of fly fishing practices.
