In the book Favorite Flies and Their Histories , Mary Orvis Marbury discusses the variety of flies used in fishing, and the history behind the cultivation and use of that particular pattern or species (depending on whether the fly is real or constructed). Her book includes many replies from practical anglers to her requests for information on how, when, and where to use the flies discussed in the book. This publication also includes thirty two illustrations and eight photographs depicting the flies discussed in the text to improve the reader's understanding of each species. The book begins with a thorough explanation of the difference between natural and artificial insects in the use of fishing, and the results each type of bait typically provide. The book then delves into the histories of the use of particular flies and the advantages of using each as bait. Next, the text gives a very comprehensive list of places across North America where fishing is popular and the correct bait to use in each locale, including instructions for bait in many places across the North American continent such as Canada, Main, New York, Michigan, Montana, California, and Florida. The extensive information provided in Favorite Flies and Their Histories would prove to be invaluable to any fisherman or angler. Marbury's discussion of the flies used as fish bait is very thorough and presents proven techniques and approaches to fishing specifically tailored for many of North America's lakes and rivers. The information provided here could easily help any fisherman improve their fishing techniques and increase their daily catch. Marbury's own applied techniques in addition to the numerous responses published here to her request for information from other fishermen, create a well thought-out and helpful guide for fishermen of any skill level.
