The History of Fly Fishing (originally published as The Fly) has been completely revised, rephotographed and greatly expanded to 440 full-colour pages. This lavishly illustrated work charts the development of fly fishing from humble beginnings to the modern day. The text of the new edition includes an extra 42,000 words, greatly expanding and updating the original and adds many completely new subjects - for example the history of fly tying equipment, the story of fish stocking and much more about the history of fly fishing in America. Additional volumes, Trout Fly Patterns 1496-1916 and Salmon Fly Patterns 1774-1914, will soon be available, listing thousands of fly dressings dating from medieval times to the beginning of the twentieth century.
