Product Description
by Charles Zibeon Southard (Author)
This fantastic book contains a comprehensive guide to fly fishing in America, dealing with all aspects of the subject from equipment, preparation, habits and habitats, seasons and appropriate flies, and much, much more. Contents include: "Trout Found in American Waters", "The Art of Fly-Fishing", "A Comparison of the Merits of the Wet and Dry-fly Method of Fly-Fishing", "The Fly-Rod and its Function", "The Rod, The Reel, The Line, The Leader, and The Fly", "The Habits of Trout", "The coloration of Trout", "The Sight and Hearing of Trout", "How and When to Strike Trout", "The Expert Fly Fisherman", "List of Wet Flies", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.
