Modern fly-fishing is only the latest chapter in a two-millennia
saga of technological creativity and passionate observation of the
natural world. In "Fly-Fishing Secrets of the Ancients,"
historian-naturalist Paul Schullery explores the earlier chapters
in that saga and unearths a host of provocative theories,
techniques, and insights that helped shape the modern fly-fisher.
Schullery demonstrates that whether we're looking for a good fish
story, a clearer understanding of why we fish the way we do, or
even a way to improve our own sport, we ignore our elders at our
peril.
"Fly-Fishing Secrets of the Ancients" offers the beginning
fly-fisher an unprecedented opportunity to come to terms with some
of the sport's most fundamental theoretical and practical
challenges. It offers the expert fly-fisher a chance to test
current angling dogma--and his or her own pet theories--against
that of the sport's greatest past masters. And it offers all
readers a fresh, probing, and often-humorous take on the great
endless fish story we perpetuate and enrich every time we cast a
fly.
