The Fly is the result of a decade's research into the history of fly fishing and is arguably the most authoritative work ever published on the subject.

"Andrew Herd's text bristles with facts . . . blended with fresh and often colourful comments on the valuable and sometimes bizarre background material that has somehow eluded other authors." Fred Buller. ". . . one of the best pieces of writing and thought in fly fishing literature." John Betts. .
