As an angling student, George Parker Holden followed the writings of Thaddeus Norris on American angling. In 1919 Holden penned his first book, Streamcraft. At the time, America was experiencing a truly unique fly fishing evolution ? weaning itself from the British tradition. This new American manner of fly fishing was distinct in both style and technique. It relied on an approach of recognizing specific natural insects and developing their imitations. Holden?s books, together with contributions to Forest and Stream, Field and Stream, Outdoor America, Outdoor Life and the Anglers? Club of New York bulletins, were informative yet influential. Out of George Parker Holden?s genius and angling passion would emerge many followers and admirers. George Parker Holden?s Streamcraft ?probably had as much influence on fly tiers and fishers as anyone else in his day. Ref JJJ 4.
