Long-Forgotten Manuscript Resurfaces With The Secrets to
The History of Fly Fishing

From  Patrick Carolan, Newry, UK

Dear Fellow Fly Fisher,

Let's face it, the art of fly fishing is the most difficult form of fishing to learn. Frankly, fly fishing is one subject you can't fake.

It is a subject you learn about continuously both by practice and from the many books that are available on the subject. However the big problem is that so few of them even touch on the history of the sport.

Of course, some people will say you can do fine without an understanding of how fly fishing started and how it evolved over the centuries. WRONG! Being aware of how fly patterns were made and how they changed over the centuries will make the fly dresser or tier more intense about the wonderful tradition he is a part of; this tradition that has continued non stop since the fifteenth century!

Knowing what strategies and techniques were used in times long gone and how they were developed through each era will heighten the fly angler's awareness and help him strive towards perfection in his art of fly fishing.

However, the big problem is that there are so few books that cover the history of fly fishing as a subject in its own right.

But now there's good news!...

Recently a long-forgotten manuscript by highly acclaimed writer and angler, John Waller Hills, has been re-discovered. Hills' work is the secret resource many top fly fishers and writers used to perfect their knowledge of fly fishing.
