A step in angling history is also marked by George Pulman's Vade-Mecum of Fly-fishing for Trout , for it contains the first definite instructions on fishing with a "dry fly." Another is marked by Hewett Wheatley's The Rod and the Line , where is to be found the earliest reference to the "eyed" hook.
