Favorite Flies and Their Histories
Marbury is the daughter of Charles Orvis, founder of the famous  fly-fishing tackle company that is still a leading name in  top-quality gear. In 1890, Marbury solicited information from  seasoned anglers from coast-to-coast on their favorite flies and  compiled the results in this volume, released two years later.  It offers descriptions and reproductions of 300 flies, broken  down by geographic area and fishing conditions. Though more than  a century has passed, these patterns remain effective for  catching trout.Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.
