" In praise of the wet fly Oh, thrilling the rise to the lure that is
dry, when the shy fish comes up to his slaughter. Yet rather would I,
have the turn to my fly, with a cunning brown wink under water. The
bright little wink under water! Mysterious wink under water! Delightful
to ply the subaqueous fly, and watch for the wink under water. "
G.E.M. Skues, 1904
