Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For readers of H Is for Hawk and Wild, a lyrical memoir and passionate ode to the art of fly fishing and how it can shape a life—by renowned female angler and conservationist Marina Gibson. As her twenty-first birthday approached, Marina Gibson received a unique gift suggestion from her parents, who offered her a choice between fishing rods or jewelry. In an unconventional decision, she opted for fishing rods. Her intention was to rekindle a childhood passion and carry on a family tradition initiated by her mother, who had dedicated years to pursuing salmon in the rivers of the Scottish Highlands. As fishing overtook Marina’s life and evolved into a full-time career, she became enraptured by the silent mysteries of the river and the quiet magic of angling. The complexity of fly fishing and the rituals of casting provided her refuge from a failing marriage, giving her a reliable source of comfort that benefited both her mind and soul. It also revealed the barriers that exist for women trying to make it in a tradition-bound and male-dominated world. Tracing the epic, migratory journey of the Atlantic salmon alongside the ups and downs of her personal story, Cast, Catch, Release brings to life the joys of fishing, the spirited quest of the angler, and how these two paths meet on lakes and riverbanks around the world. A love letter to this exhilarating yet serene sport, Gibson shows what it means to find peace and purpose amidst the majesty of the great outdoors.
Download or read book Catch and Release written by Mark Kingwell and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2005-04-26 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This vibrant blend of memoir, travelogue, and reflection on the deep truths of angling is framed around an annual fishing trip that Mark Kingwell and his father and two brothers take each year to British Columbia. Between the drinking, the cigars, and the piloting of a small dingy, Kingwell, previously of the belief that “fishing is stupid,” finds that the sport does allow for one important thing—quite a bit of time just to think, to allow thoughts to wander and new vistas to open up. This realization leads Kingwell, who makes his living as a professor of philosophy, to ponder everything from masculinity and procrastination to golf and the value of work—not to mention the relative benefits of wet versus dry flies, the cast, and how best to fool a fish. As the book engagingly shows, fishing is worth thinking about because of the thinking that fishing allows. Especially when the trout aren’t biting.

Book excerpt: I should have died quick. But I didn't. I'm a miracle of modern medicine, only the medicine doesn't get much credit, I notice. People say I'm lucky, or I'm blessed, and then they turn away. I'm not the only miracle. There's Odd too. Polly Furnas had The Plan for the future. Get married to Bridger Morgan, for one. College, career, babies. Etc. All the important choices were made. It was all happily-ever-after as a diamond-ring commercial. But The Plan did not include a lethal drug-resistant infection. It did not include “some more reconstruction and scar revision in the future." And it certainly did not include Odd Estes, a trip to Portland in an ancient Cadillac to "tear Bridger a new one," fly fishing, marshmallows, Crisco, or a loaded gun. But plans change. Stories get revised and new choices must be made. Polly and Odd have choices. Surviving or not. Catch or release.

Book excerpt: 'A very revealing book about life, salmon and angling. Marina's writing is as exquisite as her casting.' - PAUL WHITEHOUSE 'A unique and very enjoyable story, filled with simple joys and more complex challenges.' - TRISTAN GOOLEY, author of How to Read a Tree ___________ An inspiring true story about the healing power of water from one of the world's best known female anglers In her early twenties, drifting and directionless, Marina Gibson fled the city for the countryside, and picked up a fishing rod for the first time in years. She was returning to a childhood pursuit and a passion passed on by her mother. Fishing overtook Marina's life as she grew enraptured by the quiet magic of angling. Whiling away hours by a Highland river or a local chalk stream, with only the ritual of casting and the music of the water for company, Marina found an escape from a failing marriage and a connection to a tradition of female anglers stretching back generations. Alongside the twists and turns of her own story, Marina traces the epic migratory journey of the Atlantic salmon and its fight for survival against the odds. Cast Catch Release is a love letter to the water, and what it means to find peace and purpose in the great outdoors.

Book excerpt: Do you want to catch more fish? Of course you do. We all do. I'm Captain Mike. I excelled first as a Recreational Angler and then as a Captain by developing and honing my own techniques with the guidance of some of the best live bait fishermen in the world. Never once have I stopped seeking a better way to catch more fish. If you're not getting better, you're getting worse. I worked hard, asked questions, tried new tactics, observed and studied my results to establish the high-level techniques that I use on a daily basis. And now, I will share them with you so that YOU can also benefit from my obsession. I am not one of those "zero sum" captains that view other anglers as a threat to my livelihood. There are some on the water who believe that their business thrives so long as anglers don't expand and improve their angling skills. Not me. It is my life's joy to see you catch more fish and create more memories. Exceptional anglers helped me along early in my career and I want to help YOU in the same way. I believe in the maxim that a "rising tide floats all boats." For me, my angling success ascended to another level when I dedicated myself to the art of catching all sorts of LIVE BAIT.It's that simple. Mastering the art of cast netting over my thirty-five-year fishing career has enabled me to catch live bait when others cannot. The best piece of advice I can give to anglers of all ages and experience levels is: Use LIVE BAIT. Catching your own live bait results in catching more fish and bigger fish. After years of fishing with clients and friends, being approached at events from iCAST to boat shows, answering more e-mails, private messages and Youtube comments than I can count, it was apparent that I needed to write this book.Through seminars, demonstrations and online videos, I have taught thousands of anglers how to use a cast net. It is my desire to help those who are eager to improve and expand their fishing skills. It gives me great pleasure to share my life's passion through teaching and instruction, not to mention that with every lesson, I am further able to hone my own skillset! Getting kids to shut off video game consoles, putting down the cell phones and encouraging them to go outdoors gives me satisfaction as well. I get a big kick out of seeing parents bond with their children while learning something new and enjoying the outdoors-like I did with my father. With my Mastery Series, I can't wait to share with you everything that I've learned from countless hours of trial and error as well as tips from mentors, professional captains and some of the industry's elite. I will teach you everything you need to become a better fisherman by taking full advantage of your cast net. I'm not holding back. You get it all. By the time you finish this book, not only will you be able to open a cast net in a perfect circle and "make bait" but you will join the "90/10" fishing club. That's right. The other 90% of anglers will envy you and wonder what you are doing differently. Simply put, fishing is about to get a whole lot easier for you.

Book excerpt: One of the Best Books of the Year Time * NPR * Washington Post * Bloomberg News * Chicago Tribune * Chicago Public Library * Fortune * Los Angeles Times * E! News * The Telegraph * Apple * Library Journal In this newly updated edition of the "meticulous and devastating" (Associated Press) account of violence and espionage that spent months on the New York Times Bestsellers list, Ronan Farrow exposes serial abusers and a cabal of powerful interests hell-bent on covering up the truth, at any cost - from Hollywood to Washington and beyond. In 2017, a routine network television investigation led to a story only whispered about: one of Hollywood's most powerful producers was a predator, protected by fear, wealth, and a conspiracy of silence. As Farrow drew closer to the truth, shadowy operatives, from high-priced lawyers to elite war-hardened spies, mounted a secret campaign of intimidation, threatening his career, following his every move, and weaponizing an account of abuse in his own family. This is the untold story of the exotic tactics of surveillance and intimidation deployed by wealthy and connected men to threaten journalists, evade accountability, and silence victims of abuse. And it's the story of the women who risked everything to expose the truth and spark a global movement Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalist Finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award in AutobiographyIndie Bound #1 BestsellerUSA Today BestsellerWall Street Journal Bestseller
