Man has been fishing for trout and salmon with the fly since the time of the Ancient Greeks. Devising ever more ingenious methods of doing so, his rods, reels, lines and flies have evolved in fascinating ways.

With a delightful blend of wit and erudition, Conrad Voss Bark tells the story of flyfishing, from the Macedonian 'plumes' of old to the hairwing streamers of today.

He spotlights the sport's formative protagonists – Juliana Berners, Robert Venables, Isaak Walton, Charles Cotton, Alfred Ronalds, George Kelson, J.C. Mottram, Dr Bell, and many others, using his journalist's skills to appraise the prevailing dogmas, the breakthroughs in tackle and to re-live the great debates and controversies, including the famous Skues-Halford dispute.

Throughout, flyfishing is seen against the broader canvas of changing times in Britain, Ireland and North America.

Today there are new forces which are shaping flyfishing history: water pollution, drift netting, over-kill, timeshare, catch-and-release and the explosion of new materials from which tackle and flies are made.

Not since Waller Hills' classic History of Flyfishing for Trout of 1921, has a broad survey of this fascinating sport been tackled with such individual style and verve.

Great Quality and a joy for Mickey lovers
Format: Hardcover
Great quality and my 3 year old loved it. You press the relevant buttons as Mickey reads out the story. It's simple, cute and fun and encourages the kiddos to read along.

Great book, just wish it was more durable for toddlers
Format: Hardcover
My kiddo LOVES these Ready to Read books because she can "read" them herself and she likes the sound effects with each button. She easily figured out how they worked with me only showing her 2 pages. The pages are short so after only a day she's memorized what each page/button says, which will help with her reading skills. Love these! This Mickey book is a little boring compared to the Minnie book I also got her and she loses interest a little faster. Also, my kiddo is not quite 3, so I wish the books were a little more durable. The binding isn't very strong and the pages are very thin, so I've had to tape up multiple pages because she turned the pages a little too enthusiastically and they tore. I can already tell that unless I can convince her to be more gentle she'll probably end up ripping the main part of the book completely away from the cover within the next few weeks.

Cute book for preschool age
Format: Hardcover
Love these books because my child can basically have the book read itself to her while she is still learning. Helps her to identify and match pictures to the buttons for each page. Vibrant colors, perfect length for the book to keep my preschoolers attention for the whole book.

Mickey reads to you
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
My 2 year old nephew loves The’s books! And it’s read in Mickeys voice which is great because not all of these books are read with the actual characters voices.
