Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For fishermen, the only thing more fun than catching fish are the stories they tell about those fish . . . and the ones that got away. Nobody knows that better than Chris Santella, author of the best-selling Fifty Places to Fly Fish Before You Die. For his latest homage to anglers, Santella invited 50 celebrated fly fishers to share their favorite fly-fishing stories based on their travels and experiences. The result is this unforgettable collection of stories that are, surprisingly enough for fishermen, true. Fifty Favorite Fly-Fishing Tales includes stories that cover the panoply of emotions— comical, poignant, inspirational, incredible, absurd. It tells of Ralph Cutter casting in complete darkness for blind catfish in the caves of Borneo, J. W. Smith boxing grizzlies to protect his tent camp in Alaska, and George Anderson fly fishing for saltwater crocodiles in Cuba. It also describes how Jean Williams, through trout fishing in the Colorado Rockies, helped to bridge the chasm between a type-A father and his neglected son. Accompanied by stunning photographs, the stories in this book reflect not only the rich experience of fly fishing but also how it can extend beyond the rivers, oceans, and fish to touch the core of our daily lives.

Download or read book Ashley Bickerton written by Derek Bickerton and published by Other Criteria. This book was released on 2011-05-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This lavishly illustrated monograph will be the definitive publication to date on artist Ashley Bickerton. From the coolly abstract sculptures which evolved amid his meteoric success in the 1980s New York art world, to his richly hued paintings and photographs that channel the Indonesian island of Bali that he now calls home, Bickerton’s work has dramatically transformed over his twenty-five year career. This aesthetic evolution has occurred in tandem with the artist’s peripatetic movements around the globe in pursuit of the perfect wave.Strikingly designed by Stefan Sagmeister, Ashley Bickerton is an artistic object in its own right. Over 300 color images of works from the 1980s until today capture the acerbic wit and tremendous talent of the enigmatic artist. Textual contributions from Bickerton s family and friends, as well as scholarly essays by art historian Abigail Solomon-Godeau nd MCA Chicago Curator Dominic Molon, are interspersed with the artist's commentary. An interview between the artist and Serpentine Gallery Co-Director Hans Ulrich Obrist is brought to vivid life by the renderings of Ignacio No�. Die-cut pages, books bound within the book, and personal photos together communicate the artist s unique vision. NOTE about the artist: Ashley Bickerton was born in Barbados in the West Indies in 1959. He studied at the California Institute of the Arts before moving to New York and entering the Whitney Museum Independent Studies Program in 1985. Rising to prominence, Bickerton was labeled as one of the Fantastic Four along with Jeff Koons, Peter Halley, and Meyer Vaisman. The artists were among those who came to define the wildly successful Neo-Geo movement of the 1980s. The ever-evolving Bickerton left New York in the early 1990s and moved to Brazil before settling in Bali in 1993. Over the last twenty-five years, Bickerton has exhibited throughout Europe and America, and his work is in many public art collections. He is represented by Lehmann Maupin Gallery and Sonnabend Gallery in New York and White Cube Gallery in London.
Download or read book Fly Fishing for Trophy Striped Bass written by John L. Field and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2024-06-18 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Striped bass, or simply “stripers,” are a premier saltwater sportfish that can grow to over 50 pounds and swim in giant schools that will churn the surface of the water to a froth as they feed on baitfish, creating heart-pumping, fast-paced fly fishing. Originally native to coastal Atlantic States and eastern Canada, they have also been introduced to the Pacific as well as many inland reservoirs and the rivers that flow into them, making stripers arguably the most accessible and popular saltwater species in North America. In this comprehensive guide, author John L. Field describes their behavior, foods they eat, the best flies and methods to imitate those foods, and where today’s angler stands the best chance of catching a trophy fish. Top guides, creative fly tiers, and marine biologists contribute their experience and expertise to this book.
Download or read book Brook Trout written by Nick Karas and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-11-03 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: North America has had a 400-year love affair with the brook trout - Salvelinus fontinalis- its great native trout. In this newly revised and updated volume, Nick Karas offers the only major profile of this most beautiful gamefish. Brook Trout is a thorough look at the history, biology, and angling possibilities of the fish most anglers affectionately call the brookie. Through the eyes of a trained ichthyologist, Karas explores the brook trout's biology and the events that led to its evolution and distribution. He unravels the controversies surrounding the two largest brook trout ever taken. But the core of this book is the fishery: its past status, current condition, and future. And because the history of brook trout fishing is inseparable from the history of American fishing, Karas follows the development of the rods, reels, lines, lures and flies that evolved as anglers pursued their fascination with this great game fish. Skyhorse Publishing is proud to publish a broad range of books for fishermen. Our books for anglers include titles that focus on fly fishing, bait fishing, fly-casting, spin casting, deep sea fishing, and surf fishing. Our books offer both practical advice on tackle, techniques, knots, and more, as well as lyrical prose on fishing for bass, trout, salmon, crappie, baitfish, catfish, and more.

Download or read book Mist on the River written by Michael Checchio and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mist on the River chronicles a search for wild steelhead salmon in the remaining wilderness of the Pacific Northwest. As he says in the prologue to his book, Michael Checchio likes his fly-fishing on big western rivers where there are lots of mountains to look at, and where the steelhead don't come out of a hatchery but are born as nature intended, in the cold gravel of a clean stream. He finds all this and more up in British Columbia on his search for some of the last great runs of wild steelhead left on earth. Steelhead, the great sea-run rainbow trout of the Pacific Northwest, have long been sought by fly-fishermen. To Checchio, they have become a powerful symbol for the last of the wild in the Pacific Northwest and are to the Northwest what lions are to the Serengeti. And like their cousins, the salmon, they are among the species of fish most threatened by the modern world. A passionate fly-fisherman, Checchio discovered steelhead when he moved to the West Coast a little more than a decade ago. Fishing for ever diminishing returns of these magnificent fish in the rivers of northern California and Oregon, he dreamed of faraway waters in Alaska and Kamchatka, where he might find the last strongholds of wild steelhead remaining on the planet. Finally, he was able to take a dream vacation north to experience for the first time the steelhead Valhalla awaiting the fly-fisherman in British Columbia. Michael Checchio has been praised by the fishing community as a passionate writer on the plight of the great outdoors and the steelhead trout. But this book is not written just for the fly-fishing fraternity, but rather to the general reader who has a love of nature and the outdoors, and a deep interest in the fate of wildlife and the future of the environment. Checchio's personal steelhead journey leads him on a quest toward rivers and landscapes ever more pristine and wild, providing illuminating sights and thoughts along the way.
