"The Book of the Fly-Rod" is a classic guide to fly fishing by Hugh Sheringham. It contains a wealth of interesting and useful information, historical details, authentic anecdotes, and tidbits from the author's extensive personal experience fly-fishing all over the world. Entertaining and informative, this timeless and profusely-illustrated volume is highly recommended for those with an interest in fly-fishing and it's history, and it would make for a superb addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: "De Maximis", "Out of Macedonia", "If We Started Afresh", "The Travelling Companion", "The Fly-Rod in North America", "Fly-fishing in Norway", "Salmon and Sea Trout", "Salmon Fishing in Canada", "The Management of the Club", "Black Bass", "The Fly-Rod in the Sea", "A Talk About It", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the history of fishing.
