The Houghton Club is one of the most exclusive and oldest flyfishing clubs in the world. Its 15 miles of the Middle Test have been looked after since 1887 by three generations of the Lunn family. For over 100 years they have contributed significantly to the art of riverkeeping and to the science of fly recognition, as well as introducing revolutionary techniques in fish farming. This book is a nostalgic look at the author's family's famous chalkstream. It is also a guide to dry fly technique, with many practical tips, and an up-to-date history of modern flyfishing.
