Admittedly, this is one of my favorite fly fishing books of all time. The reason  for this distinction is also why it is a title that I think anyone can (and should) add to his or her library.

Limestone Legends is a collection of papers presented at The Fly Fishers’ Club of Harrisburg. This angling group was sharing fishing and conservation information back in the 1940’s, and a number of significant concepts and notable names can be found in the pages of this volume.

Aside from the entertaining and novel aspects of the book, it is a beautiful example of  the benefits of knowing something of fly fishing history. And although your particular region might not have a formal  publication like this, reading it will spur you on to see what you can dig up about your local angling past.
