Fly fishing has a rich, varied, and often misread 250-year history in America. This classic account of America's favorite pastime - from colonial time to the present - explores the literature and technology, and the personalities and places where they fished. Thaddeus Norris, John Harrington Keene, Theodore Gordon, Preston Jennings, and Vincent C. Marinaro are just a few of the many prominent angling authors whose contributions are thoroughly examined in this important book. But fly fishing in America is much more than the sum of these and other great names. Author Paul Schullery has studied the changes in fly fishing and its values, the relationship of geography and rivers to the sport, how European traditions were adapted or discarded, and how the evolution of new technology has affected its growth and popularity. An entire section is devoted to the fascinating developments of the gilded age: perforated reels, mass production of split-can rods, railroad-sponsored resort towns, great women anglers, and more. This work remains the first - and most important - account of the sport in the United States, and has been widely praised as essential reading for all fly fishers.
