Download or read book Trout and Salmon Fisherman for Seventy Five Years written by Edward R. Hewitt and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edward R. Hewitt, with Theodore Gordon and a few others, was one of the twentieth century's legendary fly-fishing influences. This is the distillation of his lifetime's angling expertise in America, Great Britain, Ireland and elsewhere. Much of the advice is just as relevant today. Although it is based on Hewitt's two earlier classics, Telling on the Trout (which approached trout fishing from the fish's point of view) and Secrets of the Salmon (which created the sport of dry-fly salmon fishing), this book is no mere recapitulation of earlier material. Here, in his breezy, discursive style, the author gives the summation of his unequalled knowledge of angling, drawing from the backlog of his vast experience. Hewitt approached angling as a science as well as a sport: he studied the psychology of the fish as well as the fisherman, and developed his methods with the fish's weaknesses foremost in mind. The result, embodied in this book, is a highly successful philosophy of angling which any fisherman today would recognize and value.
Download or read book The Quest for the Golden Trout written by Douglas M. Thompson and published by UPNE. This book was released on 2013-09-22 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The angler's dream of fishing pristine waters in unspoiled country for sleek, healthy trout has turned fishing into a form of theater. It is a manufactured experienceÑmuch to the detriment of our rivers and streams. AmericansÕ love of trout has reached a level of fervor that borders on the religious. Federal and state agencies, as well as nongovernmental lobbying groups, invest billions of dollars on river restoration projects and fish-stocking programs. Yet, their decisions are based on faulty logic and risk destroying species they are tasked with protecting. River ecosystems are modified with engineered structures to improve fishing, native species that compete with trout are eradicated, and nonnative invasive game fish are indiscriminately introduced, genetically modified, and selectively bred to produce more appealing targets for anglersÑincluding the freakishly contrived "golden trout." The Quest for the Golden Trout is about looking at our nationÕs rivers with a more critical eyeÑand asking more questions about both historic and current practices in fisheries management.

Download or read book Advanced Fly Fishing written by Eugene F. Burns and published by Stackpole Books. This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eugene Burns worked tirelessly and meticulously to research and understand the fundamentals of fly fishing. He questioned traditional fishing methods and ideas used for hundreds of years and honed in on subtle nuances most fishermen gloss over. He fundamentally changed fly fishing by revolutionizing casting with the Lazy S technique and introducing day-glo fluorescent materials to fly tying. “In every page of Advanced Fly Fishing the implied theme is plain,” writes Francis Sells, “each cast must embody all the techniques an angler knows or else he cannot realize the full potentialities of his fly, method and water.” From short and long casts to dry flies and spinners, Burns breaks new ground on all aspects of fly fishing. This is a perfect book for an experienced angler who wants to learn a few new techniques or a true beginner who wants to learn every aspect and angle of the sport.

Download or read book Nymph Fishing written by Terry Lawton and published by Stackpole Books. This book was released on 2005 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Upstream nymph fishing has developed from the minor tactic of G.E.M. Skues into a universally-accepted method wherever fly fishermen fish for brown trout and grayling. The history of nymph fishing is notable for the argument between F.M. Halford, the dry-fly ultrapurist, and Skues, culminating in the debate on the legitimacy of fishing nymphs on chalkstreams and the later fallout between Frank Sawyer and Major Oliver Kite. For the first thirty years of the twentieth century, nymph fishermen were held in contempt and often considered little better than poachers on many chalkstreams. Nymph fishing started and was developed in England and then spread, along with nymph patterns, around the world through the writings of Skues and others and the travels of English anglers. Over the last fifty years, the English method has been adapted and developed to suit local conditions, particularly in the United States.
