Download or read book Bert Darrow s Practical Fly Fishing written by Bert Darrow and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bert Darrow doesn't just teach his students to fish, he teaches them to live the sport. It's an unusual, holistic approach that comes from thirty-five years of fly fishing, and nearly the same amount of time teaching it. This long-awaited book includes the best of Darrow's approaches to fishing. To teach fly fishing, Darrow brings in elements and analogies from every kind of discipline. Exercise, for instance. Few books or instructors stress the strenuous and aerobic nature of fly fishing, but Darrow understands how important being fit is to fishing right. He describes a simple exercise that will help any angler improve his cast. Or music. Darrow frequently uses music to teach casting, timing the back and forward casts to a 4/4 beat. Or sports. Darrow teaches the casting stroke the same way many tennis coaches approach the serve and the backhand. He also discusses the mental challenges of the sport-things such as focus and patience-in terms that would befit a sports psychologist. It's an approach that has surprised many students, who, when they get to the river, are amazed at how much less time they spend untying knots and pulling flies out of trees, and how much more time they spend catching fish.

The Practical Fly Fisher will help you become a more complete angler, a better fly tier, and a more successful fly fisher.

BIOLOGICAL SOMETHING ABOUT THE QUARRY THE SMALL MOUTHED BLACK BASS (Micropterus dolomieu) Know Fish * * f T is good luck to be on the good side of the man that knows Fish," said Walton. My purpose here is to tell something of the natural history of the fishes anglers woo so ardently. Later I will deal more specifically with the habits of the basses and trouts and their relation to that ever-interesting problem, "Fishermen's Luck." Historical The biological history of the black basses is covered so ably and scientifically by Dr. Henshall, in his " Book of the Black Bass," that I will touch the subject only in a general way. Louden, in his "The Small Mouthed Black Bass," states that the early Jesuit missionaries used the word "achigan" as early as 1655 to designate the small mouthed black bass. The word corresponds with the French word "bas" meaning stocking and certainly these hardy fishers of men must have included "our" fish in their Friday menus. Robert Roosevelt found the Chippewas of the Lake Superior Country still using the name " achigan " in the eighties. The first small mouthed black bass recognized by science was a specimen described by Lacepede in 1801. It happened to be a mutilated specimen and as a result received the unfortunate generic name "micropterus," meaning small fin. The small mouthed black bass is often called "red eye " by many anglers. Range The original range of the small mouthed black bass was probably restricted to the Great Lakes region, the northern parts of the Mississippi and Ohio valleys and perhaps the headwaters of certain Allegheny streams. Frank Forester in his "Fish and Fishing" says that the black bass was found in the basin of the St. Lawrence and the Great Lakes and was distributed in New York via...

Download or read book Red Palmer written by James Tayler and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-13 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Red Palmer: A Practical Treatise on Fly Fishing Having read papers on Fly-fishing before the Gresham and Islington Angling Societies, and contributed occasional articles to the fishing periodicals, I have been persuaded by some of the members of those societies to publish my ideas on the subject, and I now submit them to the public, premising that the following treatise is neither historic nor scientific, but simply an endeavour to communicate what nearly fifty years of practice and careful observation have taught me to consider as correct principles in a concise and practical form. Trusting that it will be received as such, and will be of some assistance to young anglers in cultivating that, which, we are assured by the highest authority on angling, is "an art worth learning." In preparing this short treatise I have assumed, what is generally admitted by fishermen, that catching trout with an artificial fly is the highest branch of the piscatorial art; for, although some bottom-fishers and spinners claim that as much skill is required in their branch as is in fly-fishing, yet I think the palm must be yielded to the fly-fisher. It differs in many respect from all other kinds. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
