John Waller – A HISTORY OF FLY FISHING FOR
TROUT – 1921 1st edition – 244p – Phillip
Allan, London – In this work, the author of the angling classis
“Summer on the Test” produced the first book to trace the
history of fly fishing from its very beginning and should be in the library
of all those interested in the history of fly fishing. Hills identifies
all the early flies mentioned by early writers and also provides a bibliography
of books that very accurately suggests the titles of importance to the
serious angler. To this very day, A History of Fly Fishing for Trout remains
the foundation book on the subject as it pertains to the milestones of
fly fishing literature and importance advancements in tackle. –
Other than having two signatures on the free-front-end paper, this is
in excellent condition - a hard to find 1st edition of an angling classic.
