The History of Fly-Fishing in Fifty Flies recounts the history of a sport that dates back 2,000 years, focusing on milestone flies from the first feathered hook to contemporary patterns using cutting-edge materials. Among the countless fly patterns created over the centuries, these 50 have been carefully chosen to represent the development not only of the flies themselves, but also of fly-fishing techniques-and of rods, lines, and reels. These iconic flies also chart the spread of this addictive sport from its modern origins on the chalk streams of southern England and the rivers of Scotland to the U.S., Europe, South America, Australia, and now to every country in the world. Filled with profiles of the key characters involved, tying tips, photographs and illustrations of the flies, and detailed explanations of the techniques used to fish them, The History of Fly-Fishing in Fifty Flies is a fascinating companion to the evolution of this fascinating sport.

Reviews for Fifty Places to Fly Fish Before You Die: Fly-fishing Experts Share the World's Greatest Destinations

This interesting book with very thorough contributions from diverging perspectives puts the Directive in a wider context and reveals a large number of difficulties the Directive will confront us with in the coming years. It is definitely recommended reading! Evelyne Terryn Common Market Law Review Vol 45 issue 4 This book is a very incisive but also user-friendly commentary on, and analysis of, the Directive...This book spans the academic and practitioner markets. It does not flinch from the areas of uncertainty...and does not simply repeat the content of the Directive...It will interest consumer, contract, advertising, EU and commercial lawyers alike. Those lawyers without an EU background will not be at a disadvantage because the topic is clearly expressed. All readers with an interest in the Directive will find this work,...of enormous practical use and intellectual stimulation. Vincent J. G. Power International Company and Commercial Law Review Vol 19, Issue 12, 2008
