Discover the rich history and delicate artistry of fly fishing in Quill Gordon. Written by John McDonald and published by Alfred A. Knopf in 1972, this book is a definitive collection of "rare items from the author's streamside experiences and from his perusal of fascinating historical curiosities in angling lore."
The title pays homage to the legendary Theodore Gordon, the "father of American dry fly fishing," and the book itself serves as a beautifully illustrated journey through the evolution of the sport. From technical discussions on fly patterns to deep dives into the literature and philosophy that define angling, McDonald provides a scholarly yet accessible perspective that has made this a staple for serious fly-fishing libraries.
