Man has been fishing for trout and salmon with the fly since the time of the Ancient Greeks, and his rods, reels, lines, and flies have evolved in fascinating ways. Conrad Voss Bark tells the story of flyfishing, from the Macedonian plumes of old to the hairwing streamers of today, spotlighting the sport's formative protagonists and the breakthroughs in tackle. Flyfishing is seen against the broader canvas of changing times in Britain, Ireland, and North America, with new forces shaping flyfishing history, such as water pollution, drift netting, over-kill, timeshare, catch-and-release, and the explosion of new materials from which tackle and flies are made. Not since Waller Hills' classic History of Flyfishing for Trout of 1921 has a broad survey of this fascinating sport been tackled with such individual style and verve.
