Over twenty years ago Simon J Ward became fascinated by the life and times of George Selwyn Marryat. The Nineteenth Century flyfishing guru to Frederick Michael Halford. In the eyes of this filmaker GSM can only be seen as the 'Father of the Dry Fly' on the chalk streams of Southern England. This documentary is the culmination of over twenty years of research into GSM's life and times.
The script for the origins & evolution of the 'just what is a chalk stream' has been adapted by Simon J Ward from 'chapter one' of the manuscript written by Roy Darlington (with his kind permission) in the early 1990s for the 'Test & Itchen Association.'
