From Library Journal Marbury is the daughter of Charles Orvis, founder of the famous fly-fishing tackle company that is still a leading name in top-quality gear. In 1890, Marbury solicited information from seasoned anglers from coast-to-coast on their favorite flies and compiled the results in this volume, released two years later. It offers descriptions and reproductions of 300 flies, broken down by geographic area and fishing conditions. Though more than a century has passed, these patterns remain effective for catching trout. Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.
Review Descriptions and reproductions of 300 flies....Though more than a century has passed, these patterns remain effective for catching trout. -- Library Journal
From the Back Cover In 1890, Mary Orvis Marbury - daughter of the founder of The Orvis Company - wrote to anglers all over the country soliciting information on their favorite flies and how they were to be made and used. Her inquiries resulted in publishable responses from more than two hundred fly fishermen in thirty-eight states. Marbury compiled these responses to form this book, first published in 1892. Favorite Flies went through nine printings by 1896 - a fishing best-seller even by today's standards. With its clear descriptions of nearly 300 flies, accompanied by fascinating - and expert - advice on their use, this definitive compilation sounds as startlingly current today as it did over a century ago.

7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. letters from the nineteenth century By James Stripes My interest in this book began while researching in Ray Bergman's (_Trout_) the deer fly that was popular a generation ago. However, my gains from this book exceed that limited purpose.This book offers beautiful drawings of 290 flies that were popular years before Norman Maclean (author of _A River Runs Through It_) was born. That is, it helps ground the reader in some of the traditions of fly fishing that were well established before the production of some of the literature that catalyzed the recent explosion of interest in angling with the long rod.The bulk of this book consists of letters written by hundreds of anglers from across North America. These letters list favorite flies, some tying instructions, and many gems of wisdom. The author organized these letters, added information about the history of many flies, and put together excerpts from angling literature of previous centuries. The letters were written in response to a set of questions, some of which are of less concern today. But, other concerns remain pertinent. Many letters address the relationship between fly selection a presentation, for example. Letters from the past are the raw materials of history: in this case of specific waters. Judging from the three letters from my home town, for instance, even in the 1890s the Spokane River was a challenge with a fly.The republication of this book makes a classic affordable and accessible. But, the modern reader might have found some benefit from an editor's introduction that illuminates some of the history of this work's popularity and use, as well as offering some clarification of tying methods and materials of the nineteenth century.

Encyclopedia of Fly Fishing By MrDrProfessor Favorite Flies and Their Histories is a great book for the fly fisherman to add to his/her collection.It is the essential volume that contains letters in response to Mary Orvis Marbury's letters to fishermen she knew that asked about their favorite flies and how they were made.This 527 page volume contains 32 color plates of flies from the mid 19th century which helps add visuals the the favored flies.If you enjoy fly fishing or reading about fly fishing, this book is a must.

Classic volume but a flawed resproduction By ZGirl This version of Favorite Flies is a reproduction of the original text - and essentially looks like a photocopy. Some pages are slightly illegible and there are no color plates of the flies. There is another version of this title that is much better.
