Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dry Fly Fishing in Border Waters Good wine needs no bush, and any book about angling written in the keenly enthusiastic spirit of the following pages needs really no Introduction. We anglers all love one another, said Izaak Walton, truly. Like Free masons, we are brothers the world over; as ready to listen to each other's notions and experiences of the craft as we are to cast our flies upon the waters - the bread being in our baskets for the time. With anglers, talking shop is as dear as are the waterside pleasures of memory when the rod is resting and the season of retrospect has set in.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dry-Fly Fishing Those who have been fishing the floating fly for many years may be surprised to learn how much misconception exists regarding their favourite method. It is still looked upon in many quarters as something mysterious, something demanding superlative skill and even erudition, something applicable only to certain waters whereas the fact is that it is as simple as it is deadly, and more generally useful than any other.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dry Fly and Fast Water: Fishing With the Floating Fly on American Trout Streams, Together With Some, Observations on Fly Fishing in General To expound a theory into willing ears upon a trout stream is one thing; to put those same ideas into writing so that they may be intel ligently conveyed to one who reads them is quite a different thing. Of this I am convinced. However this may be, my readiness to do the one induced in some of my angling friends the belief that I could do the other. They insisted that I try - and this book is the result. My ex perience in preparing these pages has filled me with the profoundest respect for those persons who may be truthfully characterised as authors. I began the work with a good deal of timidity, and, as it now appears to me, considerable temerity. After completing the task to the best of my ability I submitted the manuscript to some of my credulous friends. Strange to say, after reading it, even then they insisted that I publish it. By this decision it seems to me they proved two things - their friendship for me and their absolute unfitness to be literary critics.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Science of Dry Fly Fishing and Salmon Fly Fishing This consists, in the first place, in the life-history of the salmon, from the time it is deposited as ova by the parent fish in the redd until it attains its full grown state. I have ventured, when dealing with this interesting matter, to introduce some original theories as regards those questions which are still a subject of controversy. In the second place, I have dealt with the different methods of casting, and by plates and diagrams have endeavoured to show the various casts for presenting the lure to the salmon, and explained the methods to be adopted when actually fishing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dry Fly Fishing in Border Waters Perhaps some explanation is needed for adding another to the long list of books on angling, since all that can be said would seem to have been said over and over again. Yet Izaak Walton in his "Address to the Reader" observes: "For Angling may be said to be so much like the Mathematicks that it can ne'er be fully learnt." For myself the next best thing to being by the river is to read of other people's experiences in catching trout, and of what they have deduced from those experiences. I still see so many fly fishers on the Border fishing down stream with wet flies under nearly hopeless conditions, in June, July, and August, that I believe a great many mistaken ideas still prevail as to the difficulties of dry-fly fishing and the special tackle necessary for it; hence some account embodying an experience of nearly ten years of exclusively dry-fly fishing on Border waters may be of interest. Again, I am often asked by friends in England as to the chances of getting any dry-fly fishing in Scotland. Many who make the inquiry seem to imagine that the Border streams and lochs can only be fished with wet flies.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1914 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER IV WHERE AND WHEN TO FISH The swift streams in the eastern part of the United States must, as a rule, be fished by wading. Where it is possible, because of the absence of trees and brush, to fish from the bank, the angler's form is silhouetted sharply against the background of sky, and, to overcome this disadvantage, he must retire some distance from the edge of the bank, or, if he wishes to come closer, must kneel or crouch to avoid being seen by the fish. By casting from the bank he will avoid the disturbance of the water necessarily made by entering it, and this is, of course, an advantage. On the other hand, he is closer to the surface of the stream while wading, in which position he is not so easily seen, which is also an advantage. Offsetting the latter, however, is the commotion made by his movements, which, no matter how deliberate, will make the trout nervous or apprehensive of approaching danger. If he has shown himself, even though the fish has been vigorously feed 87 ing, he might just as well abandon any attempt to induce a rise, because the trout, having been warned by his careless approach, will have scurried away. The danger of putting down a fish in swift water is not so great because the ripples sent in advance of the angler make little headway and travel no great distance against a strong current. To describe places where trout may be looked for under any and all circumstances, is practically impossible. Very often the fish will not be found where the angler thinks they should be. They are as full of notions and idiosyncrasies as anglers themselves, and one may hope to become familiar with their habitat in a general way only, and this after close study. I say "in a general way," because, while a big trout may...
Download or read book Instinctive Fly Fishing written by Taylor Streit and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2012-03-06 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thoroughly revised and expanded new edition of Taylor Streit’s classic Instinctive Fly Fishing addresses the “real reasons people catch trout,” and offers suggestions and tips to help the aspiring angler take advantage of his or her own fly-fishing instincts. Since Instinctive was first published in 2003, the author has kept track of certain essential elements that were missing from the first edition. Even as he’s been out on a guide trip with a client, he’s kept notes about what “should have been in Instinctive.” This thorough revision benefits from more than seven years of his instinctive rumination. Rewritten with an eye toward a new audience, Instinctive aims for those who fish in competitive situations and overfished waters, which appeals especially to those in the eastern half of the United States. Additional content includes fishing tailwaters with tiny flies, practical information on insect hatches (tricos, blue winged olives, and green drakes) and illustrations of knots and rigs. Also included are additional chapters on the environment, stream manners, and safety.
