Skues on 9th August 1949, a series of fly-tying articles which had originally appeared in the Fishing Gazette were published under the title, Silk, Fur and Feather: The Trout-Fly Dresser's Year by "V.C"., the initials of Skues' pen name "Val Conson".

If one had to name a single book which changed the course of fly-fishing, this would probably be it.

Instead Skues demonstrated that upstream nymph fishing for chalk stream trout was based on an old method, as sporting, as demanding and as interesting (if not more so) than fishing dry. The arguments have been smouldering ever since. .
