High Speed Internet, the latest browsers, searchable online document repositories, PDF files, and Google. Bent and sharpened steel, floss, chicken feathers, thread, copyright law, wasting time on a warm summer evening.
The new and the old are married with Google Books. That wonderful company that can afford to put everything online (and searchable). Lots of old fly fishing and tying books are available online in Google Books.
Spend some time browsing the old flies and the stories behind them. How did the Coachman get its name? What’s up with Cow Dung?

Awesome! Thanks for sharing this. I found another great book called “Wet-fly Fishing” By Ewen M. Tod on google books.
After a quick perusal it looks like a good read.
