He was also a modest, humorous, and warmly companionable writer. Both beginners and experts find his work accessible, entertaining, and enormously informative.\u003cbr\u003eSkues was that rarest of angling authorities, the iconoclast with a reverential respect for fly-fishing's traditions. A leading student of the sport's history and literature, Skues had a rare gift for sifting through many generations' accumulation of opinion and advice, keeping only what was truly useful and adapting it to the needs of anglers in a rapidly changing world. Skues on Trout showcases one of angling's greatest theorists sharing his hard-won wisdom along his beloved trout streams.","brand":"Stackpole Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47123912622320,"sku":"9780811753357","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780811753357_p0.jpg?v=1769909647","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780811753357","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
