5.0 out of 5 stars A Master Class in Flyfishing History
As a lifelong, dedicated fly fisherman, I enjoyed this informative book immensely. In 217 brisk, beautifully illustrated pages Ian Whitelaw covers 500 years of fly fishing history from the English chalk streams where it originated to the freestone rivers and creeks of Pennsylvania and the Catskills and on to the coasts of Florida, the Pacific Northwest and beyond. In these essays Whitelaw includes not only the seminal fly patterns on which this book is based, but also the innovations in tackle and methods that advanced this sport to its current level of sophistication. The author gives credit to many of the sport's innovators, though a few important names are missing or barely acknowledged. For example, Ernest Schweibert ("Nymphs") is not mentioned in the book at all and Joe Brooks, the father of saltwater fly fishing, is noted only in passing. No matter. On the whole this fly fishing history is masterfully written and falls on the reader like a long, effortless cast by Lefty Kreh with the fly barely dimpling the surface of the water when it lands.

I like this book a lot. I've tied every fly in here, most of the early ones just for historical reference, and it was an enjoyable way to unwind in the evening.

Great read, easy to follow and to pick up and put down, each fly is a short, 1-4 page chapter. Very informative and interesting, super easy flow

If you're a fly-fisher, this book is a must. It tells the story behind the flies we use, their origins, and development. A great read and will make you want to go out and fish every fly they talk about!
4.0 out of 5 stars Fun book
A cute book, but don't expect any fly patterns. I'm a little surprised at which flies made it in the book, but I enjoyed reading through it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fishing for a good gift?
I purchased this book for my son-in-law for Father's Day. He is an avid fly fisherman and I had hoped he would like it. When I gave it to him he looked through it very carefully. He was so pleased. He said he could hardly wait to read it. He even had a plan. He would read about one fly at a time. Some of the things he liked about the book were the organization of it, the many illustrations and the fact that it was very detailed. I , too, found the illustrations very interesting. The book was easy to read though it provided so much information. It is a book you can keep on the bedside table and pick it up and read a bit without having to start at the beginning and read from beginning to end. It is a good gift for someone who is a fly fisherman or aspires to be one.
