Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Casting Quiet Waters, some of North America’s most respected literary writers take us on a fishing trip and use that as an opportunity to explore issues of the human condition. A little more than five centuries ago an odd English nun named Dame Juliana Berners (“The Prioress of St. Albans”) wrote the first book about fishing. Her obscure but legendary tome, a Treatysse of Fyshynge wyth an Angle, is as much a work of philosophy as a how-to manual, and in it she prescribes fishing as “a cure for domestic calamatie.” This anthology responds to her advice. A dozen of North America’s top writers embark on individual fishing trips and see if limpid water and the silence of wild places will help them reflect on their own lives and calamities. The exploratory process of writing is not so different from the process of trawling the unknown invisible world beneath the surface of a river or lake. The angler and writer both toss lines, chase shadows, and spend countless hours pondering what might have been if they’d handled that last opportunity with more gentleness and skill.

Download or read book Advanced Fly Fishing written by Eugene F. Burns and published by Stackpole Books. This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eugene Burns worked tirelessly and meticulously to research and understand the fundamentals of fly fishing. He questioned traditional fishing methods and ideas used for hundreds of years and honed in on subtle nuances most fishermen gloss over. He fundamentally changed fly fishing by revolutionizing casting with the Lazy S technique and introducing day-glo fluorescent materials to fly tying. “In every page of Advanced Fly Fishing the implied theme is plain,” writes Francis Sells, “each cast must embody all the techniques an angler knows or else he cannot realize the full potentialities of his fly, method and water.” From short and long casts to dry flies and spinners, Burns breaks new ground on all aspects of fly fishing. This is a perfect book for an experienced angler who wants to learn a few new techniques or a true beginner who wants to learn every aspect and angle of the sport.
