Andrew Herd
This paperback edition of Andrew Herd's much acclaimed history of fly fishing includes colour plates and a full index. The Fly traces the history and development of fly fishing from its earliest beginnings to the 21st century. The text bristles with facts about the spread of fly fishing, fly tying and tackle making through the ages. The Fly is a smooth, imaginative and beautifully written text.
