Fly Rod Was First: Cornelia Crosby's Adventures in Angling

Cathy Ballou Mealey

"Cornelia "Fly Rod" Crosby was one of the country's first great fishing experts and guides-but she didn't stop there! When Cornelia Crosby was born in 1854, there seemed to be as many fish in Maine as there were stars in the sky. And as she grew up she became hooked on fishing, spending spring and summer traveling from one camp to the next, catching as many as two hundred fish in a day! When she wasn't fishing? She was writing about fishing. Adventure stories by "Fly Rod Crosby" graced the pages of newspapers across the state. Fly Rod Crosby was an ambassador for Maine's outdoor treasures and dedicated her life to the enjoyment and conservation of its streams, lakes, and forests"-- Provided by publisher.
