Signed by Schwiebert with a fly tied by him mounted on the limitation leaf. Angler, artist, architect, and author, Ernest Schwiebert is the great polymath of fly fishing. The most ambitious monograph on the fish ever published, "Trout" describes the evolution of fly fishing, all the American species of trout and grayling, trout physiology, the ecosystems of streams and lakes, pollution biology, theories and techniques of wet and dry fly fishing, equipment, etc., in encyclopedic detail and cites 999 references in its bibliography. Calling it "nothing short of amazing," Paul Schullery ranks "Trout" as a strong contender for the best all-around work on fly fishing for trout.
