Download or read book Simple Fly Fishing written by Yvon Chouinard and published by Patagonia. This book was released on 2014-04-15 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern-day fly fishing, like much in life, has become exceedingly complex, with high-tech gear, a confusing array of flies and terminal tackle, accompanied by high-priced fishing guides. This book reveals that the best way to catch trout is simply, with a rod and a fly and not much else. The wisdom in this book comes from a simpler time, when the premise was: the more you know, the less you need. It teaches the reader how to discover where the fish are, at what depth, and what they are feeding on. Then it describes the techniques needed to present a fly at that depth, make it look lifelike, and hook the fish. With chapters on wet flies, nymphs, and dry flies, its authors employ both the tenkara rod as well as regular fly fishing gear to cover all the bases. Illustrated by renowned fish artist James Prosek, with inspiring photographs and stories throughout, Simple Fly Fishing reveals the secrets and the soul of this captivating sport.

Download or read book Fly Fishing Book of Revelation written by Jay Nicholas and published by . This book was released on 2014-12-05 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fly Fishing Book of Revelation isn't your ordinary, fact-based, reference guide to language bandied about by fly anglers. Nope. This is the Director's Cut glossary, an exposition that will shine a light on the meaning, origin, folklore, etiquette, and nuance of words, phrases, commercial products, concepts and morality permeating the culture and practice of fly fishing, fly tying, and the life of men and women who fish. Fly Fishing Book of Revelation is interpreter, road map, and a page-turner that dares to tell the truth; destined to be judged cult-classic. Book of Revelation will help normal people understand what is really going on in the heads of fly anglers. Normal people, as defined here, means persons not afflicted with the fishing fever and includes girlfriends, boyfriends, spouses, bosses, co-workers, children, brothers, sisters, parents, cell mates, parole officers, attorneys, mental health professionals, therapists, HR specialists, financial advisors, neighbors and the like.Are you dating a fly angler, wondering what is going on in that guy or gal's brain? Perhaps you've been married to a fly fisher for 20 years and still don't understand half the stuff your spouse says about fishing or fly tying? Maybe you are a teenager with a fly angler/fly tyer father, and you're concerned that you might have inherited a crazy gene from dad. Are you a boss with avid fly anglers under your supervision? Do you wonder if you should just fire every one of 'em and get it over with? The therapist treating a fly fisher for OCD should read this book, because behaviors that you might have thought pathological are quite normal, for fly fishers/fly tyers. You could be anyone who fishes anywhere and enjoy this book: any guy or gal who plunks worms for bluegill; minnows for crappie; chicken gizzards for catfish; swings Intruders in Great Lakes tributaries; or throws lazer-tight loops into a headwind on a Florida tarpon flat. Fly anglers in the Pacific Northwest assuredly aren't the only people who will find wisdom and more than a few laughs in these pages. Book of Revelation will shine a light on the everyday madness cluttering a fly angler/tyer's head. The definitions, rants, lectures, and speculations are as wild as any you'll ever find in a fishing reference book. "Book of Revelation" defines over fourteen hundred terms and is accompanied by several hundred Nicholas original sketches. Judging from dual Forewords by Mikhail Skopets (Fly Fishing Russia) and Randy Stetzer (Flies - The Best One Thousand); as well as reviews by John Larison (Northwest of Normal, Holding Lies), Tim Rajeff (International fly tying champion), and Rob Russell (Modern Steelhead Flies), "Book of Revelation" is a must read for anyone remotely involved with fishing, and especially for fly fishers and their loved ones.Look forward to learning about what a fly fisher thinks when he or she hears terms like amnesia, boobies, bucket, bugger barn, cheeter, dink, pull, fighting butt, fish taco, high sticking, line rub, milt, magic head, notty girls, man room, Nymo, player, Seal Dri, remorse, romp, sex, snarf, stinger, TV tray, renegade, whistler, yap, zinger, and more.
Download or read book Fly fishing the Sacred Art written by Eric Eisenkramer and published by SkyLight Paths Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the spiritual potential hidden in every cast of the fly rod. "For us, fly-fishing is about more than catching fish. We have been skunked on the stream too many times to count, and stood shivering in our waders in 45-degree water long after sundown. Yet, every chance we get, we head back to the river in search of trout and something more." --from Rabbi Eric's Introduction "Early in my fly-fishing career I remember telling a friend that there is so much to learn! Some forty years later, that is still true. Every trip I learn something new about rivers, fish and the natural world. Most importantly, I learn something new about myself. Every encounter with the waters of our planet draws me deeper into who I am and who I want to become." --from Reverend Mike's Introduction In this unique exploration of fly-fishing as a spiritual practice, an Episcopal priest and a rabbi share what fly-fishing has to teach us about reflection, awe and the wonder of the natural world, the benefits of solitude, the blessing of community and the search for the Divine. Tapping the wisdom in the Christian and Jewish traditions and their own geographically diverse experiences on the water, they show how time spent on the stream can help you navigate the currents and eddies of your own inner journey.

Download or read book Haunted by Waters written by Robert T. Hayashi and published by . This book was released on 2007-08-15 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even though race influenced how Americans envisioned, represented, and shaped the American West, discussions of its history devalue the experiences of racial and ethnic minorities. In this lyrical history of marginalized peoples in Idaho, Robert T. Hayashi views the West from a different perspective by detailing the ways in which they shaped the western landscape and its meaning. As an easterner, researcher, angler, and third-generation Japanese American traveling across the contemporary Idaho landscape—where his grandfather died during internment during World War II—Hayashi reconstructs a landscape that lured emigrants of all races at the same time its ruling forces were developing cultured processes that excluded nonwhites. Throughout each convincing and compelling chapter, he searches for the stories of dispossessed minorities as patiently as he searches for trout. Using a wide range of materials that include memoirs, oral interviews, poetry, legal cases, letters, government documents, and even road signs, Hayashi illustrates how Thomas Jefferson’s vision of an agrarian, all-white, and democratic West affected the Gem State’s Nez Perce, Chinese, Shoshone, Mormon, and particularly Japanese residents. Starting at the site of the Corps of Discovery’s journey into Idaho, he details the ideological, aesthetic, and material manifestations of these intertwined notions of race and place. As he ?y-?shes Idaho’s fabled rivers and visits its historical sites and museums, Hayashi reads the contemporary landscape in light of this evolution.
