This isn’t so much of a history but a series of essays of trout fishing in northern Wisconsin. The book is called “Looking Over The Bridge Railing.... edited by John Koch.

Trey Combs is already mentioned by SalterLee, but as his Steelhead Fishing and Flies was a great inspiration for me when I started tying flies for our sea run browns (we call them Sea Trout) in the early 80s, as well as inspiring the styling of my first rod builds (on Sage S-glass blanks), I would like to mention him again.
This book includes a chapter on the history of steelheading in the PNW and historical/local perspectives are frequent in the long chapter on flies and their use.
I have the second printing from 1978.

Highly recommended :)

I second on the earlier mention of Rangeley Maine ! There is just a ton of fly fishing history and folklore about the area , over centuries of it , lots of documentation and fiction , as earlier stated , Graydon & Leslie Hilyard have a few legendary books well worth reading , there is Louise Dickenson Rich with “We took to the Woods” , more recently some publishing’s by Robert Romano Jr , and also Lou Zambello , both informational and storied , just plenty of fun stuff to thumb through ...
