Flyfishing is the fastestgrowing form of recreational fishing in North America. Each year more than ten million people participate at all levels of the sport, drawn by its blend of contemporary sophistication and ageold technique.Through the centuries flyfishing has developed its own language: hundreds of terms, expressions and phrases shorthand, slang and formal definitions alike convey this intricate sport to its devotees. Some are technical or scientific, some are emotional, political, illogical; some have come down to us from Old England, some were coined in a skiff last year. Understanding this language not only opens up modern flyfishing but also reveals its unique historic roots. The Illustrated Encyclopedia of FlyFishing is the first comprehensive reference to flyfishing terminology. In more than 500 carefully illustrated entries, Silvio Calabi thoroughly details the language and history of angling, tackle and accessories; casting and tying; hooking and landing; and much more.The book will also serve as a complete guide to the everexpanding array of equipment available. While flyfishing is still the same oneonone game it has been for centuries a game that is often played out in chest waders on freestone streams around the world, from New England to Alaska and New Zealand to Patagonia improved technology continues to be an important part of the sport. Cane has been replaced as the rod material of choice by graphite fiber, and leaders and lines are no longer gut and silk. Today's waders deliver performance unknown even fifteen years ago.As the strength and durability of tackle has improved, the sport has expanded dramatically beyond the trout stream. Flytying is no longer a way to economize on the cost of flies; it is an end unto itself, with its own significant advances in materials, tools and techniques. Vintage fly tackle is an expression of art and craftsmanship even more refined than furnituremaking.Silvio Calabi's landmark book will be an essential reference for all flyfishing enthusiasts. Illustrated with scores of color photos and howto line drawings, it is the ultimate compendium of fact, lore, history, tackle and techniques, and will undoubtedly be an angler's constant companion.
