With guidance and tips on modern tackle, fly lines and flies, and
many delightful photographs, the 'Little Book of Fly Fishing for
Trout' will help you to improve your tactics, techniques and your
catches.
Wisdoms and Frustrations of fly fishing in an irreverent poem,
illustrated in color. If you've ever had a day you could not catch
a fish, this gives you the reasons, and possibly the solutions. A
few secret flies for the Bighorn River in Montana are pictured.
The Sunday Times bestseller Two comedy greats talk life, friendship
and the joys of fishing... Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse have
been friends for 30 years, but when life intervened, what was once
a joyous and spontaneous friendship dwindled to the odd phone call
or occasional catch up. Then, Glory Be! They were both diagnosed
with heart disease and realised that time is short. They'd better
spend it fishing... So they dusted off their kits, chucked on their
waders and ventured into the achingly beautiful British countryside
to fish, rediscover the joys of their friendship and ruminate on
some of life's most profound questions, such as: How did we get so
old? Where are all the fish? What are your favourite pocket meats?
What should we do if we find a corpse? Following the success of the
BBC's Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing series, this
wonderful book by two lifelong friends is a love letter to the joys
of angling, the thrill of the catch and the virtue of having a
right daft laff with your mates. On the fish, the equipment, the
food, and the locations, Gone Fishing is the perfect book for fans
of Bob Mortimer, Paul Whitehouse and for anyone who wants to read a
brilliantly written and endlessly funny joint memoir on life,
friendship and joys of fishing.
Whether standing in a quiet Wisconsin creek, by a high-country lake
in Wyoming, or on the grassy margins of England's hallowed
chalkstreams, Kevin Searock believes anglers are driven by a
vision: ""There are things on this good Earth that only the angler
sees, and one of them is the breathless beauty of a trout emerging
from a river."" Here, in this evocative collection of fishing
essays, he takes readers under the surface of this ancient sport,
casting a spell of water-magic. Although trout are central to many
of the stories, bluegills, bass, and other warm-water fish also
grace these pages. Telling stories in thoughtful prose, Searock
writes about fly-tying, collecting fishing literature, journaling,
and traveling in a way that makes Troutsmith a rich and varied
meditation on fishing and the outdoors.
