Well, Izaac Waltons "The Compleat Angler" was written in about 1650 or so which was the first literary account of fly fishing but I think it actually dates back to Roman times.

That house is considered really old around here. When my sister bought a house a few years ago, she insisted on a new one.. Now her house is 12+ years old and considered an older house by many ... (not me.. ) I've been to Rome where I seen the shopkeepers often hold open the doors with a piece of carved Roman column. Some there, would consider your parents farm relatively new! I was running Ubuntu 8.04 but that was pretty old (2 years! ). So I started using 9.10 (less than a year old). But that was getting old, so I loaded up a copy of 10.04. So it is all about perspective I suppose. :-) FWIW, I'm not sure they actually had fly rods 150 years ago.
