Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PREFACE. THE Author of this very practical treatise on Scotch Loch - Fishing desires clearly that it may be of use to all who had it. He does not pretend to have written anything new, but to have attempted to put what he has to say in as readable a form as possible. Everything in the way of the history and habits of fish has been studiously avoided, and technicalities have been used as sparingly as possible. The writing of this book has afforded him pleasure in his leisure moments, and that pleasure would be much increased if he knew that the perusal of it would create any bond of sympathy between himself and the angling community in general. This section is interleaved with blank shects for the readers notes. The Author need hardly say that any suggestions addressed to the case of the publishers, will meet with consideration in a future edition. We do not pretend to write or enlarge upon a new subject. Much has been said and written-and well said and written too on the art of fishing but loch-fishing has been rather looked upon as a second-rate performance, and to dispel this idea is one of the objects for which this present treatise has been written. Far be it from us to say anything against fishing, lawfully practised in any form but many pent up in our large towns will bear us out when me say that, on the whole, a days loch-fishing is the most convenient. One great matter is, that the loch-fisher is depend- ent on nothing but enough wind to curl the water, -and on a large loch it is very seldom that a dead calm prevails all day, -and can make his arrangements for a day, weeks beforehand whereas the stream- fisher is dependent for a good take on the state of the water and however pleasant and easy it may be for one living near the banks of a good trout stream or river, it is quite another matter to arrange for a days river-fishing, if one is looking forward to a holiday at a date some weeks ahead. Providence may favour the expectant angler with a good day, and the water in order but experience has taught most of us that the good days are in the minority, and that, as is the case with our rapid running streams, -such as many of our northern streams are, -the water is either too large or too small, unless, as previously remarked, you live near at hand, and can catch it at its best. A common belief in regard to loch-fishing is, that the tyro and the experienced angler have nearly the same chance in fishing, -the one from the stern and the other from the bow of the same boat. Of all the absurd beliefs as to loch-fishing, this is one of the most absurd. Try it. Give the tyro either end of the boat he likes give him a cast of ally flies he may fancy, or even a cast similar to those which a crack may be using and if he catches one for every three the other has, he may consider himself very lucky. Of course there are lochs where the fish are not abundant, and a beginner may come across as many as an older fisher but we speak of lochs where there are fish to be caught, and where each has a fair chance. Again, it is said that the boatman has as much to do with catching trout in a loch as the angler. Well, we dont deny that. In an untried loch it is necessary to have the guidance of a good boatman but the same argument holds good as to stream-fishing...

Book excerpt: I made the decision to write this book, based on the encouragement of my children. Often, when we would get together, they would ask me to tell them about some incident that happened to me when I was in the navy. I would tell the story, and they would say that I should write a book about adventures at sea. I am writing this book after having a liver transplant. Before I had the transplant, I had been sick with severe liver disease, for five years, almost dying twice. A week before my transplant, I had a compression fracture of one of my discs in my back. I was standing, talking to a nurse when all of the sudden the disc fractured. I was in such pain that I had to lie down. The only way that I am not in any pain is when I am in the hospital and get a shot of morphine. At home, I get some relief form oxycodone, but it never lasts long enough. Today, I am writing this with a considerable amount of pain. Writing seems to take my mind off the pain. All of the events in this book occurred during the year of 1976. My family consisted of me, Bruce Edward Holdt. I was thirty-three years old. My wife, Karen Wallin Holdt, was thirty-four; my oldest daughter, Marnie Esther Holdt, was ten years old; my son, Theodore Charles Holdt, was six years old; and my youngest daughter, Melissa “Missy” Holdt, was five years old. I was born in a small town in northern Minnesota called Clitherall. It got its name from my mother’s Mormon ancestors who came to northern Minnesota to teach the Indians English. This group of Mormons broke off from the Mormons in Illinois who followed Brigham Young to Utah. The biggest difference between the Mormons who continued on with Brigham Young and the splinter group was that these followers of a man named Cutler did not believe in or allow polygamy. My ancestors were called Cutlerittes. Cutler died on the way to Minnesota, and the group was then led by my great-great-grandfather Sylvester Whiting and his brothers Chauncey and Isaac. One day, while looking for the place, it was ordained that they settle and start a community. Sylvester and Isaac stopped in a grove of trees and noticed a bark flap on one of the trees that had partially grown back. Sylvester pried the bark back and noticed the name Clitherall carved on the tree. The Mormons all took this as sign from God and named the lake and the settlement they started there Clitherall. Later, they found out that Clitherall was the name of a U.S. Army captain who lived in Minneapolis. Clitherall had written his name on the piece of bark to show he had surveyed the area. My father’s ancestry is much simpler. My great-grandfather Torger Olsen Holdt was born in Haagland, Norway, on April 5, 1835. He lived there until the age of sixteen. He then immigrated to America, settling in Claremont, Iowa. He married Bertha Holdt and took her name. Torger and Bertha drove a mule team with a wagon with all their earthly goods from Iowa to Minnesota in the fall of 1871. Torger had a son named Olavas, who is my grandfather. In 1922, my father, Bertram T. Holdt, was born. He married my mother, Lorraine Gleesing, and had two sons—me and my younger brother, Verne. When we lived in Clitherall, it had a population of only fifty people. Nearby was the small lake called Clitherall. One of my earliest memories was being taught how to swim there by my father. I quickly learned to swim and was most happy when I was in the water. We lived about three hundred yards from the lake. My brother, who was a year younger than I, and I would walk to the lake every day that it was warm enough to swim, which was usually May through September. Growing up in a small town in Minnesota, with an alcoholic father and a mother who worked every day, was tough. My mother expected me to take care of my younger brother, cooking all of our meals when she was working. This experience made me self-reliant, self-assured, and a good student in every form of education I experie

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the United States began its campaign against numerous Japanese-held islands in the Pacific, Japanese tactics required them to develop new weapons and strategies. One of the most crucial to the island assaults was a new group of amphibious gunboats that could deliver heavy fire close in to shore as American forces landed. These gunboats were also to prove important in the interdiction of inter-island barge traffic and, late in the war, the kamikaze threat. Several variations of these gunboats were developed, based on the troop carrying LCI(L). They included three conversions of the LCI(L), with various combinations of guns, rockets and mortars, and a fourth gunboat, the LCS(L), based on the same hull but designed as a weapons platform from the beginning. By the end of the war the amphibious gunboats had proven their worth.

Book excerpt: It's 1808 and Sweden is at war with Russia. The war is not going well. On land, the Swedish army is retreating continuously and all that stands between the Russians and the Swedish mainland are the gunboats of the inshore fleet. The sea war amongst the islands of the Finnish and Swedish archipelagos is a special kind of war, fought in open boats by badly equipped men without proper training. Fighting the weather as much as the Russians, Lieutenant Johan Kuhlin commands a small squadron of three gunboats on special duty. During the short and wet summer, he learns that an independent command isn't all glory and that spies can be more dangerous than Russian guns.

Book excerpt: The trailerable fishing boat is the single largest financial investment made by anglers in pursuit of their sport. Yet, despite a cascade of claims from sellers and manufacturers of boats and boating accessories, there's little objective information about how to choose and outfit a boat for maximum fishing efficiency, satisfaction, and safety. With full-colour photos throughout, this book gives plain-spoken and reliable advice, covering topics from rod holders to live wells, outboards to trolling motors. Every boating angler will benefit from this book by increased enjoyment of time on the water - and by getting more and bigger fish aboard.
