The History of Fly-Fishing in Fifty Flies
Hunger drove humans to first eat fish, and creativity to develop the use of hook, line, rod, and reel, but genius certainly inspired the sporting pursuit of the most elusive species with beautifully hewn floating lures of pheasant feather, stag hair, yellow silk, hare ear fur, and other materials tied to dainty forged hooks. Immaculately illustrated and stocked with two thousand years of fly-fishing lore, the high art of the fly is given its due.
