Download or read book The Fine Art of Fishing Classic Reprint written by Samuel G. Camp and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-01-12 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fine Art of Fishing While the Eastern brook trout is undoubtedly in coloration the most beautiful of all game fishes, in for mation, especially as regards very large trout of, say, three pounds or over, its position is not so clearly first. The male trout of this weight, however finely marked with var ious tints of blue, crimson, and gold, tends dangerously to aldermanic girth and, with his usual under-shot and cruel lower jaw, is rather a creature to respect for gameness and fighting-blood than to admire artistically. The quality of coloration in the brook trout, too, is dependent to a great extent upon the immediate sur roundings affected by the fish. That this is a matter Of protective coloration should go Without gainsaying. In very dark waters, well shaded and with muddy or dark ly colored bottom, the brook trout is sympathetically Of subdued coloration, sometimes almost black - a very dark purple. On the other hand, in clear streams run ning over white gravel or pebbly beds, the trout are lightly tinted and Often have a golden luster or sheen that is unequaled for beauty. The wise men tell us that variation Of color in brook trout is caused by the light acting through the nerves of the eye upon certain color glands. It is also dependent to a certain extent upon the natural food most common to the stream, trout which have an abundance of insect food being the most brilliant in coloration as well as the largest.

Download or read book A Book of Fishing Stories written by Frederick G. Aflalo and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Fishing Stories Fishing stories are commonly associated by facetious folk with a measure of prevarication more seductive, it may be, than downright falsehood, but no less unmoral. The fisherman is, by long usage, discredited by his neighbours, who maintain that the truth is not in him. Yet so shrewd a man as Pontius Pilate, having asked "What is truth?", departed without hearing the answer to his question, and even the most reckless exaggerations, of big fish caught and even bigger lost, usually rest upon a basis of fact. This is no place in which to examine the alleged imaginative powers of the reminiscent angler, or to debate the commensurate talent for light fiction in the golfer, horse-dealer, and other outdoor men and women. To some extent, it must be confessed, the disciples of Walton have only themselves to thank for this slur on their veracity, since, instead of indignantly repudiating the charge, they more commonly treat it as a standing joke, and take curious pleasure in telling tales against themselves wherein whales figure as bait, and other gems of mendacity are brought out for inspection. Although there will be found in these chapters more than one episode so startling as to be credible only to fishermen themselves, the names of the contributors should be sufficient guarantee of their authenticity.

Download or read book The Fish That Changed America written by Steve Price and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-11-04 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From boats and baits to rods and reels to tips and tactics, bass fishing has been a magnet of innovation for almost a century. Bass fishing changed from pastime to business in part because of competitive tournaments and the publicity they generated. That publicity, in turn, sparked a demand for more and more information from the tournament fishermen themselves—how they caught bass—so in essence, the sport fed upon itself. Author Steve Price has interviewed dozens of anglers over the past few years, and he fits each of their stories into a complicated puzzle that forms a comprehensive tale of competitive record holders and fishing industry insiders alike. The Fish That Changed America is not simply about tournament bass fishing, although some of the stories included here do involve competitive anglers. Rather, Price has tried to embrace a wider view of the entire sport and to show how different facets of bass fishing meshed so perfectly at the same time, leading to the state of the industry today. The participants—those who laid the foundation for what all bass anglers today enjoy—tell their own stories of what happened during those not-so-long-ago years. Many of the stories, such as the standing room–only funeral for a famous largemouth bass, touch on far-ranging topics that all anglers will enjoy. 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.
