Download or read book Wade Fly Fishing Mosquito Lagoon and North Indian River Lagoon Florida from Canaveral National Seashore and Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge written by Luc Desjarlais and published by . This book was released on 2016-01-19 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wade Fly Fishing Mosquito Lagoon and North Indian River Lagoon (Florida) from Canaveral National Seashore and Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge Situated mid-way along the East Coast of Florida, Mosquito Lagoon and the Indian River Lagoon system in general are renowned fishing destinations and are featured in books, articles, videos, and TV shows. Quality guiding services are widely available. And fly-fishing is gaining in popularity. Why another guide book? Firstly, not much literature exists on foot access to the lagoons, and this is one gap that this book is filling. Secondly, hunting the fish of the lagoons while wading is a different experience than fishing from a boat. It must be learned and this book will do this. Finally, in keeping with the ways of each book of the series, this guide book focuses on very precise fishing spots. Contrary to most others this guide book shows the precise location of these fishing spots on large-scale, detailed maps. Parking Lot 5 of the North District of Canaveral National Seashore should be the starting point of your exploration of the lagoons, on foot. The area accessible on foot from Parking Lot 5 is described in minute details. This book also covers all the wading areas of Mosquito Lagoon and North Indian River Lagoon accessible from Park and Refuge land. You will pursue mostly Red Drum, but also Spotted Seatrout, Black Drum, and other game fish, over miles of shallow flats. Precise directions will take you to areas of the lagoons that hold fish and to specific spots where those fish tend to gather. This guiding book also tells you what you need and how to catch those big fish with a fly rod. If you are an experienced salt fly-fisher you will skip years of exploration time. If you are an experienced fly-fisher who is new to saltwater and flats fishing you will shorten your learning curve immensely. If you have been sitting on the sidelines of wade fly-fishing this book will hopefully be the spark that will ignite a passion. Go ahead, let our lagoons work their magic. Full-size, full-color paperback, 206 pages, with index. This book is available in Kindle eBook with full functionality at a popular price. The purchase of this book in print gives you the opportunity to buy the Kindle eBook for $2.99 and carry it with you in your phone or tablet to the precise fishing spots shown in the large-scale detailed maps of the book. "Wade Fly Fishing Mosquito Lagoon and North Indian River Lagoon (Florida) from Canaveral National Seashore and Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge" is the second of a series of four similar guide books covering in detail a precise geographic area and focusing on wade fly fishing. The first was published in December 2014. It covers the upper St. Johns River basin in East Central Florida for American Shad. It is available on Amazon in both print and eBook formats. The last two books are in preparation and cover the streams of Northern Vermont and the streams of the Eastern Townships of Quebec, sector Green Mountains of the Appalachians and Mounteregians. This last book will be published in French and English."

"More than ten years later, efforts have been successful in reducing some threats to the estuary, but uncertainty about its prolonged viability and healthy existence still remains." In this book, the author and the artist "have attempted to replicate the beauty of the Indian River Lagoon and document its fragile state so that future generations may appreciate it even more." -- Introduction.

Download or read book Fishing Gone written by Sid Dobrin and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2019-03-27 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humans have a rapacious relationship with the world’s ocean, extracting immeasurable quantities of its inhabitants and resources, while simultaneously depositing unbound sums of pollution into it. If we are to move toward sustainable practices, then we must first move toward ways of thinking about fish and fisheries beyond mere economic agendas. And there is one group in particular who could make an impact: saltwater anglers. Recreational saltwater fishing is big business and big culture. The industry is one of the largest in the United States, but that has not translated into a cohesive effort, agenda, or ethic. Saltwater anglers, a diverse group with a range of motivations, do not belong to a single organization through which to galvanize significant voting or lobbying power toward conservation regulation. As a result, federal policymakers have traditionally focused on commercial harvesting interests. Dubbed the “most contemplative of pastimes,” recreational fishing provides a valuable perspective on how humans interact with saltwater environments. Fishing, Gone? builds on this tradition of reflection and opens up the saltwater sportfishing life as a method for thinking through the current status of marine fisheries and environment. Author Sid Dobrin calls on fellow saltwater anglers to reconsider their relationship to fishes and the ocean—the sport can no longer be only about the joy and freedom of fishing, but it must also be about living for the ocean, living with the ocean, and living through the ocean. It is about securing the opportunity to fish on while meeting the economic and environmental challenges that lie ahead.

Download or read book Spoil Island written by Charlie Hailey and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2013-08-01 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is there an allure of spoiled places? Spoil islands are overlooked places that combine dirt with paradise, waste-land with “brave new world,” and wildness with human intervention. Although they are mundane products of dredging, these islands form an uninvestigated archipelago that demonstrates the potential value and contested re-valuation of landscapes of waste. To explore these islands, Spoil Island: Reading the Makeshift Archipelago navigates a course along the U.S. east coast, moving from New York City to Florida. Along the way, a general populace squats, picnics, and reflects on the islands, while other forces are also at work. New York City parks commissioner Robert Moses first deplores then adopts Hoffman and Swinburne Islands, UN Secretary General U Thant meditates on the East River’s Belmont Island, businessman John D. MacArthur rejects the purchase of Peanut Island, artist Christo surrounds Miami’s spoil islands, Key Westers debate the futures of two spoil islands that mark their sunset view, and artist Robert Smithson augments this archipelago materially and conceptually. Historical and contemporary stories highlight each island’s often contradictory ecologies that pair nature with infrastructure, public concerns with private development, rationalized urbanism with artistic impulse, and order with disorder. Spoil islands put you in places you normally wouldn’t—and perhaps shouldn’t—be. To examine these marginalized topographies is to understand emergent concerns of twenty-first-century place-making, public space, and natural and artificial infrastructure. Today, spoil islands constitute an unprecedented public commons, where human agency and nature are inextricably linked. Spoil Island will be of interest to anyone working in the areas of architecture, cultural history, cultural geography, environmental studies, or environmental philosophy. Linking the islands with their environmental aesthetics, Charlie Hailey provides a lively and critical topography of places that play a part in current events and local situations with global implications.
