Acclaimed sporting and adventure writer Charles Gaines has spent
much of his life on the water, around the world, fishing rod in
hand, angling for trout, redfish, salmon, bonefish, bass, marlin,
tuna, and practically everything else that swims. Just about any
place where there's water to fish and eccentrics to keep him
company, Gaines has been. The Next Valley Over, a collection of his
best writing on fishing from his long and storied career, is culled
from the pages of Men's Journal, Forbes, and Sports Afield, among
other publications, and ultimately is about the heart of the sport.
While his stories are lined with the accoutrement of angling--the
art of technique, the equipment, the lodges, the fish
themselves--they're really about why we love to fish and what it
means to our culture. As Thoreau once said: "Many men go fishing
all their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are
after." What "they are after" is what Charles is curious about, and
he has devoted the better part of his life and sanity to coming up
with answers. Starting and ending at the majestic Lake Tadpole in
St. Clair County, Alabama, where Gaines's love of fishing was
initially sparked, the Next Valley Over chronicles exploits in
exotic locations with eccentric characters. In the process of his
quest of nearly every species known to man, Gaines explores what we
are really searching for when we fish.
This fascinating book is one in a series of books for professional
and amateur fishermen. Sold as a series or as individuals these
books cover every spectrum of specialist fishing. The Fly and Worm
fishing book covers the specific pursuit of knowledge in Salmon,
Trout and Grayling which is a current huge topic of interest. There
are many sources of information available to research current
trends however this original and unaltered publication dated from
1885 is as valuable today as it was when it was first published.
This book is absolutely packed with information about the fish, the
types of bait that attracts them, how to make or find them and the
when and where to look for them. This book is suitable for
professional and amateur fishermen and is absolutely wonderful as a
reference book or as a reasonable but indulgent gift.
This fascinating book is one in a series of books for professional
and amateur fishermen. Sold as a series or as individuals these
books cover every spectrum of specialist fishing. The information
in this book from 1921 covers so many aspects of the sport. The
Cormorants today are treated as a threat to UK anglers, but in
China in 1921 these birds were considered as an aide to fisherman
because of their skills. The history from 200 BC to the 1920's is
truly a story that any serious or amateur fisherman would love to
read. The illustrations are so informative and did you know that a
score of snails would cost you 1/2d in 1906 - today you will pay
GBP10 for 6. A fabulous present or just a brilliant read for anyone
interested in fishing.

Brilliant, witty, perceptive essays about fly-fishing, the natural
world, and life in general by the acknowledged master of fishing
writers.
For the first time, two of John Gierach's most popular fishing
books are collected in one volume--a double dose of delight for
longtime fans or first-time visitors to Gierach country.
As Gierach astutely observes in "Dances with Trout, ""Fly-fishing
is solitary, contemplative, misanthropic, scientific in some hands,
poetic in others, and laced with conflicting aesthetic
considerations. It's not even clear if catching fish is actually
the point." This observation might also describe Gierach's
writing--catching fish might be the subject, but most of the fun
and (mis)adventure comes well before that point. Whether it's
fishing close to home waters (Colorado) or farther afield (Alaska,
Scotland, Texas); ice-fishing, tournament fishing, or night
fishing; fishing for trout, salmon, carp, splake, or grayling;
fishing with familiar companions like A.K. Best or the enigmatic
"Zen master among fishing guides"; no detail of the fishing life is
too insignificant or too absurd for Gierach.
As he writes in "Another Lousy Day in Paradise, ""The real truth
about fly-fishing is, it is beautiful beyond description in almost
every way, and when a certain kind of person is confronted with a
certain kind of beauty, they are either saved or ruined for life,
or a little bit of both." So start reading and be saved--or
ruined--by Gierach's wonderful insights into the world around us.
Idaho's clear flowing rivers are world famous for fly fishing, but
finding that elusive perfect spot to land a trophy in the vast
wilderness requires a lot of time and knowledge. Fortunately,
writer, angler and conservationist Chris Hunt has traveled to some
of the state's most idyllic areas to find the best fishing the Gem
State has to offer. Adventurous anglers can follow his directions
off the beaten path to enjoy excellent scenery and even better
fishing. Brimming with expert tips and seasonal strategies for each
location, this handy guide will find its place in a dry pocket for
every successful excursion.
