Download or read book Trout and Salmon Fisherman for Seventy Five Years written by Edward R. Hewitt and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edward R. Hewitt, with Theodore Gordon and a few others, was one of the twentieth century's legendary fly-fishing influences. This is the distillation of his lifetime's angling expertise in America, Great Britain, Ireland and elsewhere. Much of the advice is just as relevant today. Although it is based on Hewitt's two earlier classics, Telling on the Trout (which approached trout fishing from the fish's point of view) and Secrets of the Salmon (which created the sport of dry-fly salmon fishing), this book is no mere recapitulation of earlier material. Here, in his breezy, discursive style, the author gives the summation of his unequalled knowledge of angling, drawing from the backlog of his vast experience. Hewitt approached angling as a science as well as a sport: he studied the psychology of the fish as well as the fisherman, and developed his methods with the fish's weaknesses foremost in mind. The result, embodied in this book, is a highly successful philosophy of angling which any fisherman today would recognize and value.

Download or read book Trout and Salmon of North America written by Robert Behnke and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-07-06 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This beautiful and definitive guide brings together the world's lead leading expert on North American trout and salmon, Robert Behnke, and the foremost illustrator in the field, Joseph Tomelleri. North America is graced with the greatest diversity of trout and salmon on earth. From tiny brook trout in mountain streams of the Northeast, to cutthroat trout in the rivers of the Rockies, to Chinook salmon of the Pacific, the continent is home to more than 70 types of trout and salmon. How this came to be, how they are related, and what makes them unique -- and so breathtaking -- is the story of Trout and Salmon of North America. The more than 100 illustrations of trout and salmon by Joseph Tomelleri showcased here exhibit a genius for detail, coloration, and proportion. Each portrait is made from field notes, streamside observations, photographs, and specimens collected by the artist. The result is a set of the most accurate and stunning illustrations of fish ever created. Robert Behnke has distilled 50 years of his research and writing about trout and salmon in completing this book. No one understands better than Behnke the diversity and conservation issues concerning these fishes or communicates so lucidly the biological wonders and complexities of their particular beauty. Also included are more than 40 richly detailed maps that clearly show the ranges of populations of trout and salmon throughout North America. An irresistible delight for anyone who appreciates natural history, Trout and Salmon of North America is a master guide to the natural elegance of our native fishes.
Download or read book The Quest for the Golden Trout written by Douglas M. Thompson and published by UPNE. This book was released on 2013-09-22 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The angler's dream of fishing pristine waters in unspoiled country for sleek, healthy trout has turned fishing into a form of theater. It is a manufactured experienceÑmuch to the detriment of our rivers and streams. AmericansÕ love of trout has reached a level of fervor that borders on the religious. Federal and state agencies, as well as nongovernmental lobbying groups, invest billions of dollars on river restoration projects and fish-stocking programs. Yet, their decisions are based on faulty logic and risk destroying species they are tasked with protecting. River ecosystems are modified with engineered structures to improve fishing, native species that compete with trout are eradicated, and nonnative invasive game fish are indiscriminately introduced, genetically modified, and selectively bred to produce more appealing targets for anglersÑincluding the freakishly contrived "golden trout." The Quest for the Golden Trout is about looking at our nationÕs rivers with a more critical eyeÑand asking more questions about both historic and current practices in fisheries management.
