About this title

Synopsis

Published originally in 1920, this classic fly-fishing book begins with a delightful essay on the joys of angling, then proceeds to describe in detail the steps to making a bamboo fly-fishing rod. There are numerous illustrations by the author to supplement the text.

About the Author

Dr. George Parker Holden was a luminary of the American angling world in the early twentieth century, who wrote the angling manual "Streamcraft" in 1919 and numerous articles for the Angler's Club of New York Bulletin. His milestone book from 1920, "The Idyl of the Split-Bamboo," is credited with starting the home rodbuilding movement.
