An important and thoroughly researched account of the development of fly fishing in America, written by Paul Schullery, historian, angling author and former executive director of the American Museum of Fly Fishing.
First published in 1987, American Fly Fishing: A History traces the evolution of the sport from its colonial beginnings through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Rather than concentrating solely on the established traditions of the eastern states, Schullery examines how American fly fishing developed across an increasingly diverse landscape of rivers, lakes and fisheries.
The book explores the craftsmen, writers and anglers whose contributions shaped American fly fishing, including Thaddeus Norris, Theodore Gordon, Preston Jennings and Vincent C. Marinaro. It also considers the development of fishing tackle, the emergence of new techniques and the relationship between regional fishing traditions and the waters in which they evolved.
Of particular interest to collectors of classic bamboo fly rods and reels is the book's broader historical perspective on American tackle design and craftsmanship.
Schullery's work remains a valuable reference for anyone interested in the heritage of American fly fishing and the people who helped define it.
A thoughtful and substantial addition to a collection of classic angling literature, equally rewarding for the historian, collector and practising fly fisher.
