Sunshine and the Dry Fly is a classic 1924 book by J.W. Dunne, an Irish aeronautical engineer, that serves as a guide to dry-fly fishing for trout, focusing on the art of fly-tying and the psychology of the fish. It's known for its simple language, detailed illustrations, and Dunne's unorthodox approach, which challenged established methods by correcting the perceived color errors in existing fly-dressing guides. The book is divided into two main parts: a guide to the techniques and a practical section on making the flies, and it remains a significant work in angling literature.
