"Fishing: Required Reading for Fly-Fishers
- Bill Thompson

Ever since Izaak Walton penned 'The Complete Angler', writers have been churning out books about fishing. It has been said that fly fishing is the second most written about sport in the world, second only to baseball. There must be thousands of books devoted to the catching of fish with a rod and reel. Yale University has probably the largest collection in the world. Our own state university must be a close second with its collection. And, like a lot of other anglers, I have amassed quite a large collection of my own.

In a sport that is as complex as fly fishing, it is understandable that one might want an instruction manual or two. The problem is how to choose from all those titles that line the shelves of book stores and better fly shops. To that end I have taken the weighty task upon myself to compile a list of volumes that every right-thinking fly man or woman must have in their library."
