Ed Herbst writes:\u00a0<\/strong>In 2013\u00a0Peter Brigg<\/a>\u00a0and I started to record the evolution of locally developed flies which qualified as truly indigenous by virtue of design, the materials used or the organism which the pattern sought to imitate. As far as possible we wanted the story of the flies featured in the book to be told by the originators.\u00a0\u00a0South African Fishing Flies \u2013 An Anthology of Milestone Patterns\u00a0<\/em>was published by Penguin Random House in 2017. You can read more about Peter\u2019s writings and experience by visiting his\u00a0website<\/a>\u00a0or following him on\u00a0Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Through this website we now wish to make some of its chapters available to an internet audience and I am grateful to Sunet van Antwerpen (ne\u00e9 Terblanche) of\u00a0Virtual 24-7<\/a>\u00a0for continuing to scan the articles which make\u00a0\u2018From the Piscator\u2019<\/em>\u00a0such a rich repository of fly angling history in South Africa.<\/p>\n
