Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact.

Fly Fishing Classic Now Available in Paperback In the first major work on caddisflies in three decades, Caddisflies presents the most complete pictorial survey of Trichoptera published to date. Author, angler, and photographer Thomas Ames Jr. traveled from the southern Appalachian highlands to the Canadian Maritimes to collect, study, and photograph more than 100 species in 55 genera and 20 families of the caddisflies that fly fishers are most likely to encounter on the lakes and streams of the eastern United States. Based on thoughtful analysis, sound science, and many hours on the water collecting live insects and testing artificial flies, Caddisflies takes the myth and the mystery out of matching the hatch. Learn how you can use the ways in which these amazing insects have adapted to a wide range of aquatic habitats to predict which flies to choose. And learn how to present your flies when fish are feeding on caddisflies. Detailed descriptions and vivid photographs help identify the caddisflies on your favorite trout waters. This all-inclusive book includes advice on tackle and technique and a comprehensive catalog of pattern recipes.

This is a collection of photos taken of T-Walls decorated by US Service Members in areas involved with their travel to and from Operation Iraqi Freedom. The areas where photos were taken include Kuwait and Iraq. Pictures they drew represent units who were deployed to the area, identify services near by, or memorialize fallen friends. Over time as units came and went, these T-Walls would be moved and re-used. Worn by time and the environment, they still speak to those who pass by them during their daily routines, of those who were there before. The authors wanted to capture the work, dedication and pride that went into the decoration of these walls. In some cases it was like a puzzle, where one picture was painted over to or more T-walls, which no longer stood side by side. Locating every section of a painting was like unlocking a hidden secret. The authors hope to capture as many of these pictures as possible before they are gone forever.
