I was reading a bit from one of those older books awhile back and I really got a kick out of it. I think it was something like the "Complete Wetfly Approach" or something or other. Anyway it was on wet flies and had some patterns in it which was nice.
What I really liked though, was when he was talking about different equipment. We are so spoiled!! He was talking about not fishing the bigger fish and rivers until you are strong enough to cast a large rod well. His rods were wood, and made from greenheart. They were 11 1/2 to 12 feet long and were held over or behind their shoulder to fight a big fish!
