It's a story which involves many of the great names in fly fishing - Francis, Skues, Halford, Sheringham, Marston, Senior, Ritz, Ransome, Falkus, to name a few - and which shows the key role that the club has played in advancing the cause of the sport, and in promoting important issues of environmental conservation." "The history of the first 135 years of the Flyfishers' Club is truly remarkable. But however much has changed, it is clear that the principles and the spirit shown by its founders are alive and well today, and long may that continue." A near fine copy.
