Table of Contents The American Museum of Fly Fishing in Manchester, Vermont, has one of the largest and finest public collections of fly reels in the world. Its collection of more than 750 reels includes a significant number of baitcasting, surfcasting, deep-sea, trolling, and spinning reels as well. Here, for the first time, this giant collection is brought before the public in its entirety.
Antique, classic, and modern reels are all represented. Reels owned by presidents, entertainers, novelists, and angling luminaries as well as reels owned and used by everyday anglers are brought together in this richly diverse collection spanning nearly two centuries of British and American reelmaking.
The book begins with a lengthy introductory essay on the history of the fly reel that traces the origin of the fishing reel and subsequent development and evolution of the fly reel from earliest times. This is followed by a comprehensive catalog of the museum's substantial reel holdings. Each reel is fully identified, dated, and described, and more than 150 of the more important examples are expertly photographed by Bob O'Shaughnessy. The result is a volume that should appeal to all anglers interested in the history of their sport and, most particularly, to the growing number of reel collectors.
