The Beaverkill, Willowemoc, Neversink, Esopus, Schoharie, and Delaware--the rivers of angling pioneers Thaddeus Norris, Robert Barnwell Roosevelt, Theodore Gordon, and many others--are celebrated in this gorgeous book of photographs and text. In three major sections, " Land of Little Rivers" presents historical and physical profiles of the rivers; classic rods, reels, and flies; and engaging stories of the people, events, and developments that constitute the Catskill fly-fishing tradition.
Complementing its photographic beauty, " Land of Little Rivers" is a book of substance, filled with fascinating stories, anecdotes, and nuggety captions. Land of Little Rivers is the product of author Francis's twenty-five years of research and writing about Catskill fly fishing, and of photographer Ferorelli's more than thirteen thousand images, from which has been selected the most evocative portfolio of photos ever made of these historic rivers. Together they have produced an exquisite, museum-quality work, one that captures magnificently the beauty and passion so central to the sport Izaak Walton called "the gentle art."

Learn tenkara fly fishing from the insights and experiences of some of America's best tenkara anglers One of the things I first noticed when I began getting into tenkara was the lack of written material available outside of some very good blogs from ex-perienced tenkara anglers, many of whom participated in this project. Very little Japanese literature has been translated into English. There are still many Western-style fly anglers who still don't know or hadn't heard of tenkara. Now that I have experienced tenkara for myself, it's hard for me to imagine other anglers missing out on an opportunity to add another dimension to their fishing pleasure. Searching around, I did find a small cadre of anglers who had discovered tenkara and were now on the path to serious dedication and understanding. More importantly, these guys were catching trout and lots of them in waters all around the United States. How could something this good be known to so few? We had to find ways to get the word out on tenkara as a method of fly-fishing here in the States. It seemed to me that the best way to do that was to find some of the best tenkara anglers in the U.S. and work with them to share their insights, strategies and tactics for tenkara. That's just what I did in producing this book. You the reader have the opportunity to consider a wider range of views on tenkara, from the purist tenkara angler to what I call the adaptive tenkara angler. There's room for everyone in the tenkara world. You can discern what appeals to you as you work your way through each chapter. I think you'll enjoy the wit and often-sharp opinions that our group of tenkara anglers has openly shared. I know I have as I've worked through their interviews and constructed the manuscript for this book project. What You'll Learn In This Book: History of tenkara - What makes tenkara special - Selecting a tenkara rod - Tenkara fly lines - Best tippet options - Traditional tenkara flies - Matching the hatch vs. tenkara - Manipulating the fly - Non-traditional tenkara flies - Tying Traditional Kebari & Adaptation Patterns - Casting techniques - Fishing riffles, pools, eddies & pocket water with tenkara - Fishing small waters - Strategies for fishing larger waters - Fighting fish on a tenkara rod ...And Much More

Big River, Big Woods, Big Games is the third in a series of stories about Wildlife Enforcement in Oregon and along the Columbia River that borders it. The Author spent 25 years along the river enforcing commercial and sport rules. It was an interesting job to say the least. This third book delves into the working methods of the Officers and tells some of their own stories in their own words. "Outlaws on the Big River" and "Outlaws in the Big Woods" preceded this book and were unexpectedly successful in the author's expectations. I think readers will enjoy this book also.
