"Many of us probably would be better fishermen if we did not spend
so much time watching and waiting for the world to become
perfect."-Norman Maclean Though Maclean writes of an age-old focus
of all anglers--the day's catch--he may as well be speaking to
another, deeper accomplishment of the best fishermen and
fisherwomen: the preservation of natural resources. Backcasts
celebrates this centuries-old confluence of fly fishing and
conservation. However religious, however patiently spiritual the
tying and casting of the fly may be, no angler wishes to wade into
rivers of industrial runoff or cast into waters devoid of fish or
full of invasive species like the Asian carp. So it comes as no
surprise that those who fish have long played an active,
foundational role in the preservation, management, and restoration
of the world's coldwater fisheries. With sections covering the
history of fly fishing; the sport's global evolution, from the
rivers of South Africa to Japan; the journeys of both native and
nonnative trout; and the work of conservation organizations such as
the Federation of Fly Fishers and Trout Unlimited, Backcasts casts
wide. Highlighting the historical significance of outdoor
recreation and sports to conservation in a collection important for
fly anglers and scholars of fisheries ecology, conservation
history, and environmental ethics, Backcasts explores both the
problems anglers and their organizations face and how they might
serve as models of conservation--in the individual trout streams,
watersheds, and landscapes through which these waters flow.
