Download or read book One More Last Cast written by Dennis Dauble and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-08-30 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do tiny bars of complimentary soap, spam sandwiches and pillow hogs have to do with fishing? When does one more "last cast" beget another? How can some people confuse fishing with ... sex? This collection of short stories answers those questions, and more. Dennis Dauble - biologist, fisherman and author previously of "The Barbless Hook" and "Fishes of the Columbia Basin" - returns with more wry and humorous tales gleaned from a lifetime of fishing experiences and insights. Among the revelations received at the rod's handle: some tipping points aren't revealed (alas) until after you pass the point of no return. A four-beer buzz can move a relationship along only so far. And as any friendly, but competitive, fisher might tell you, there's a limit to how much you can trust others when it comes to a good thing. Any reader will likely see themselves somewhere in this delightful collection - and fishermen and women will particularly find kindred spirit for their passion. As Dauble writes, "Fishing creeps into your thoughts, conversations and dreams to create transcendent connections that surprise and amaze."

Download or read book In Pursuit of Trophy Brook Trout written by Lou Zambello and published by Wilderness Adventures Press. This book was released on 2018-12-10 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) has captured the fascination of anglers for centuries, and some flyfishers devote lifetimes in pursuit of wild or native trophies. Yet 90 percent never catch a brook trout over 14 inches. Why? Simple: the average angler doesn’t know how to find them and rarely employs the specialized tactics required for hooking a large brook trout. Which is why well-known author of New England flyfishing, Lou Zambello, has written this new book, In Pursuit of Trophy Brook Trout: Techniques, Timing, and Territories. Zambello has fished for and guided anglers after wild trophy brook trout for decades. He has spent years deciphering seasonal migration patterns, aquatic life cycles, and weather events impacting brookie behavior. He’s tested different flies and tactics, both on the surface and down deep. This book explains where big brookies can be found, when they are catchable, how to fool them, and how to land them, all while recounting illuminating trophy trout experiences. The beauty of a male trophy brook trout in spawning colors rivals any of nature’s canvases – broad greenish flanks decorated with blue halos and the deep orange or burgundy of its underside highlighted by white-tipped fins that looked like an underwater baker had dipped them in vanilla frosting. Landing a wild or native brook trout that measure in pounds instead of inches should be at the top of everyone’s bucket list. Read and reread this insightful new book and become one of the lucky few who can boast of landing a trophy wild brook trout.
