Few names are as closely associated with the development of modern fly fishing as Charles Ritz. A distinguished angler, writer, and advocate of parabolic bamboo fly rods, Ritz helped shape the techniques and traditions of European fly fishing during the twentieth century.
A Fly Fisher's Life is his celebrated account of a lifetime devoted to rivers, trout, and the art of fly fishing. Part memoir and part reflection on angling technique, the book brings together personal experiences, observations on fly rods and casting, and encounters with some of the notable figures of the sport. The American edition includes a foreword by Ernest Hemingway.
Ritz's association with Pezon et Michel and the development of the celebrated Ritz Super Parabolic rods makes this work particularly appealing to collectors of classic bamboo tackle.
This copy is the first American edition, published by Henry Holt & Company in 1959. It retains its original blue cloth binding and is in very good condition. The dust jacket is not present.
A distinguished work of twentieth-century angling literature, equally rewarding to read and to collect.
Charles Ritz's influence on fly rod design is reflected in the celebrated Pezon et Michel Super Parabolic series. Explore our Pezon et Michel Master Lambiotte , or discover further titles in our collection of classic angling literature .
