I agree, it would be really cool, but the problem with the history of fly fishing in general is that it's only a history of what's been written about fly fishing, not what's actually been practiced. I suspect the written record of pre-European fly fishing in the Americas is pretty much non-existent.

There is one fly that has a direct connection to Native Americans. It's an imitation of a native lure.

Yes, but Native American History is still well preserved verbally just not written. One would have to write based on verbal communication. Unfortunately, I don't know how long that will be around.redietz wrote: ↑Wed Jan 16, 2019 11:01 pmI agree, it would be really cool, but the problem with the history of fly fishing in general is that it's only a history of what's been written about fly fishing, not what's actually been practiced.

I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.
