PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
In print for nearly 350 years, this classic of fly fishing literature is not only an informative introduction to the sport, it's a meditation on the timeless appeal of it. Walton combines anecdote, commentary and verse, with helpful instructions on technique, to create a literary, somewhat spiritual handbook. This new edition contains reproductions of woodcuts and etchings that appeared in an 1844 printing. It is the third most reprinted book in the English language (after the Bible and the works of Shakespeare).
