There are 544 models of artificial flies of the universal history of fly fishing that the author Mauro Raspini has collected in this compendium, both ancient books like the works of Cotton or Barners that one or two centuries ago as Ronalds, West , Halford, Skues, like most modern Chamberet, or Gordon De Boisset and up to contemporary Marinaro, Poirot, Darrel or Price. It is a unique work that, rather than investigate it, enters the story. Presents dressing immortal in their original aspect explaining the reason for each choice, the soft feathers of a partridge as bizarre animal hair. It is a magical book, made of that same magic that attracts trout and grayling in the area conquered by mysterious formulas.
Illustrated by high-resolution photographs and tables of the original books, will make you aware of the very heart of our passion.
In the book "The Fly - Sacred and Profane" you can track the progress.
