FLY FISHING – Stories from 2000 years of fly fishing

Dear fly fishermen,
I would like to introduce you to a book about fly fishing with very interesting and entertaining stories to read. The book, written in german language,  is called FLY FISHING – Stories from 2000 years of fly fishing. It was written by a good friend of mine, Peter Schmidt (with Gerd-Peter Wieditz), who has been dealing with the history of fly fishing for many years and he also described me and some of my flies in a story in the book.
With well-known guest authors, Peter and Gerd-Peter have presented important events from the approximately 2000-year documented history of fly fishing from very different perspectives. Informative and gripping at the same time, the book is not only a journey through time, but also the reports of fly fishermen, the dramatic life lines, informative practical stories, descriptions of ingenious inventions and the extraordinary depictions of unique  flies. The book is a very special reading experience!
 
Peter Schmidt, who uses flies from the C.B.F. collection for many years (with a predilection for large-size TOT) traces, with the help of Gerd-peter Wieditz, a real encyclopedic history of fly fishing, highlighting portraits, interviews, stories and anecdotes of many figures of this art. The book is well documented, perfectly illustrated, and highlights both the glorious past of fly fishing and its modernity.
I had the honor to bring my (small) contribution to it, and I am very honored to appear among certain legends of fly fishing.
 
The book is published by the German publishing company Müller Rüschlikon. It has 369 pages and its price is €39.90 It is available on the publisher’s website.
