Received my copy of The American Fly Fisher a week or two ago and finally opened it up to thumb through it. I knew the 30th anniversary of The Movie was coming up this fall, which undeniably changed fly fishing forever as we knew it, but I wasn't expecting this issue to be dedicated to the book and movie almost exclusively. AFF goes into great detail of everything from the evolution of the artwork in Maclean's novella in the 1976 first edition through the next two reissues and dives into The Movie itself.
IMO, this edition became an instant collector's copy...my membership renewal goes out in the mail this week.
AFF Quarterly - Summer 2022 issue
An area where you can discuss books about angling, classic tackle, angling literature, your favorite authors, old and new, and any upcoming books you see of interest and of course all the classics as well.
