Description

In this magnificent new book on Atlantic salmon and steelhead flies, Trey Combs adds to his literary legacy as the premier chronicler of our great outdoor sports.

Flies For Atlantic Salmon & Steelhead: A History Of The World's Most Elegant Fishing Flies tells the story of how flies for salmon became such wildly rococo pieces of art in the 19th century, and how they made their way from Ireland to England and Scotland, to Norway and Canada - and then to the salmon rivers of Iceland and the Pacific steelhead rivers of western North America in the 20th century. It's a story of immigration and of evolution, told in the expanding kaleidoscope of new materials and techniques.

Join Trey and his fishing friends from around the anadromous world in a fascinating journey through time and over river rock, as we tell the sweeping history of hand-tied flies for Atlantic salmon and steelhead - ever-evolving flies of fancy.
