This is one of the coolest things to come across our desk in a while. Hardy went deep into its archives to create a limited-edition set of prints that reproduce covers from the English tackle company's catalogs from 1894 to 1956. The images hearken back to the days of tweed, cane rods and gut tippets (dry flies only, of course)--you know, when fly-fishing was the sport of gentlemen rather than trout bums.

The prints come on heavy 13"x19" archival paper, and the images themselves measure approximately 10"x16". Each print is limited to 500 copies and they cost $145 plus shipping.
