History of Fly-Fishing in Fifty Flies by Ian Whitelaw

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.
