Frederic Halford is one of the greatest names in the history of modern fly fishing. His work pioneered the flies and techniques that we have come to accept as gospel. A shadow box of Halford's flies hangs on the wall of the Angler's Club of New York to this day.
The Dry-Fly Man's Handbook is Halford's most significant and complete statement—covering everything from equipment to fishing techniques and basic entomology. Originally published in 1913, this book remains a classic of the sport and is a must in any fly fishing book collection

Frederic Halford was born in England in 1844. In 1889, at the age of 45, Halford found himself in the fortunate position of being able to retire and devote his life to fly fishing and writing. He is also the author of Floating Flies and How to Dress Them, Dry-Fly Fishing in Theory and Practice, Making a Fishery, Dry-Fly Entomology and Modern Development of the Dry-Fly. He died in 1914.
