| The Golden Age of Fly-Fishing The Best of The Sportsman, 1927-1937 Edited by Ralf Coykendall; Introduction by Ken Callahan;
Ralf Coykendall collected the prose of some of the finest in this anthology from The Sportsman-a long-lost treasure of a magazine-including Eugene Connett, Edward R. Hewitt, George Bonbright, and artists Ralph Boyer and A. L. Ripley, among others. The Golden Age of Fly-Fishing re-creates these thinkers' era, one that we find both familiar--how little fly-fishing has changed!--and exotic, filled with the optimism and graciousness of our sporting past. "A marvelous collection of yarns from a sweet era long gone."
