In \"\"Fly-Fishing Secrets of the Ancients\"\", historian-naturalist Paul Schullery explores the earlier chapters in that saga and unearths a host of provocative theories, techniques, and insights that helped shape the modern fly-fisher. Schullery demonstrates that whether we're looking for a good fish story, a clearer understanding of why we fish the way we do, or even a way to improve our own sport, we ignore our elders at our peril. \"\"Fly-Fishing Secrets of the Ancients\"\" offers the beginning fly-fisher an unprecedented opportunity to come to terms with some of the sport's most fundamental theoretical and practical challenges. It offers the expert fly-fisher a chance to test current angling dogma - and his or her own pet theories - against that of the sport's greatest past masters. And it offers all readers a fresh, probing, and often-humorous take on the great endless fish story we perpetuate and enrich every time we cast a fly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53528088052086,"sku":"9780826346889","price":15.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_38129269_2298c7f6-cd22-42d3-8e45-b8bac755d63f.jpg?v=1763731771","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780826346889-fly-fishing-secrets-of-ancient","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
