Two Centuries of Soft‑Hackled Flies is the definitive modern work on soft‑hackle fly patterns and their rich history. Written by the late Sylvester Nemes—widely regarded as the foremost authority and revivalist of soft‑hackle flies—this book traces the evolution of these elegant patterns from 1747 to the present. Combining historical research, original fly patterns, and practical angling insight, Nemes delivers both scholarship and hands‑on value for fly tiers and anglers alike. For devotees of traditional fly fishing, this remains an essential and enduring reference.
This copy is signed by Sylvester Nemes and features an actual soft‑hackle fly carefully mounted on the front page, creating a highly desirable association copy for collectors.
