Rowman & Littlefield FlyFishing the Yucatan
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewRod Hamilton’s book, Fly Fishing the Yucatan, could be the most important gear you pack for a fishing trip to Mexico. Rod’s research and the detailed information it provides could just save your trip. There are only two things to know about fly fishing in Mexico: read this book and don't drink the water! -- Louis Cahill, Gink and Gasoline"I often wonder if any other angling author in the word has logged even half the miles Rod Hamilton has waded on tropical flats. I know there isn't a resource that compares to Fly Fishing the Yucatan in terms of thoroughness, grit, and honesty. You almost feel like you have to shake the sand out of the pages when you finish a chapter. This handy reference can reliably guide you through a lifetime of adventures among the most intricate and alluring flats on the planet. -- Kirk Deeter, Editor-at-Large, Field&StreamWith Fly Fishing the Yucatan, Rod Hamilton delivers the ultimate travel guide for Mexico’s Southeastern peninsula with scrupulous attention to detail. This comprehensive road map clearly illustrates all aspects of planning and executing the perfect trip for fly fisherman and family alike.

Whether you’re an experienced DIY angler or venturing out for the first time, this is a must-have book when considering a trip to the Yucatan. -- Drew Chicone, author of Feather BrainRod Hamilton’s first book, Do It Yourself Bonefishing, created the new wave of interest in self-arranged fishing trips. This one is going to turn that wave into a tsunami. A masterful job. Chock full of information. It will make you want to plan your own trip to the Yucatan. -- Don Causey, Editor, The Angling Report

Stewart, Tabori & Chang Inc Fifty Places to Fly Fish Before You Die:
Book SynopsisFor both armchair travelers and avid outdoorsmen and women, Fifty Places to Fly Fish Before You Die maps out the top fly-fishing destinations around the world. Through in-depth interviews with fifty fly-fishing gurus, including Dan Callaghan (noted fly-fishing photographer), John Randolph (editor-in-chief of Fly Fisherman magazine), Mike Fitzgerald (president of Frontiers, the world's leading fly-fishing travel company), and Joan Wulff (a women's fly-fishing pioneer), author Chris Santella goes beyond standard fishing guides to convey the very essence of each location. Readers can vicariously cast mouse pattners to fifty-pound taimen in the wilds of Mongolia, wrangle with wily permit off the Florida Keys, and match the hatch on Montana's Armstrong's Spring Creek. From Cuba to Kamchatka, each essay includes a cultural and natural history of the featured spot, colourful anecdotes based on the author's and authorities' experiences, and, finally, some "if you go" travel and tackle information so that the more adventurous can start planning their next fishing excursion. With 40 breathtakingly beautiful photographs of the spots, many by celebrated fly-fishing photographer R. Valentine Atkinson, this book is a lovely gift for any fisherman.

University of Nebraska Press Beautifully Grotesque Fish of the American West
Book SynopsisFisherman Mark Spitzer takes readers on an action-packed investigation of the most fierce and fearsome freshwater grotesques of the American West. Through the lenses of history, folklore, biology, ecology, and politics, Spitzer depicts the environmental destruction plaguing the most maligned creatures in our midst while subtly interweaving his experiences of personal tragedy and self-discovery.Trade Review"For anyone seeking a deeper understanding of what lies beneath the surface of Western waterways, Beautifully Grotesque Fish of the American Westoffers a lively primer to the region’s aquatic biodiversity."—Ben Goldfarb, High Country News"This is a book that beautifully navigates the space between entertainment and information. Moments will stick with readers, and will make them look at the fish and fisheries with new eyes."—Erin H. Turner, Big Sky Journal"Spitzer, like many of us, is looking for utility and finding it in the wildness of underappreciated fish. The beautifully grotesque fish represent possibilities for us in our ever-changing world."—Donald J. Orth, Pacific Northwest Quarterly"Mark Spitzer's Beautifully Grotesque Fish of the American West is a compelling read about many of the lesser known, underappreciated, or "trash" fish of the western United States. One of the major western issues Spitzer anchors his study to (perhaps obviously) is water. Water scarcity, irrigation, power generation, dams, and so forth are all issues that affect both the people and fish of the West."—Cory Willard, Western American Literature"Reading this book is a little like sipping on an old, rich whiskey—it's smooth, interesting and exactly what you need after a long day on the water."—Joshua Peterson, Casper Star Tribune"A powerful, beautiful, and ultimately kind book. We're lucky to have it."—Max Wilson, Lesser Places"[Spitzer's] a hard-core fisherman."—Daryl Bauer, Nebraska Game and Parks Commission Fisheries Outreach Program Manager"Here is a book that captures that rhythm. Every page. The fish-obsessed will smile knowingly and follow Spitzer as he encounters everything from endangered razorback suckers to burbot on ice. And along the way, you’ll realize you’re enjoying a lot of science and conservation as well."—Matt Miller, Cool Green Science"We highly recommend Beautifully Grotesque Fish of the American West to scientists, conservation biologists, and all who consider themselves fish enthusiasts. . . . Those who believe there is beauty in the interesting and unique ecology of all fish species will find a strong connection with the theme of this book. Importantly, this general theme provides a solid framework and conversation ethic toward a group of animals that do not get as much attention as other species that have been marketed as more popular fisheries."—Keith B. Gido and Garrett W. Hopper, Great Plains Research"This is a book I have to recommend highly for all fishermen and nature lovers. It is written in a humorous and colorful style with information that makes you smile, chuckle and think about the importance of fishes in the future of mankind."—Chuck Mattson, Denver Westerns RoundupTable of ContentsList of Illustrations Introduction: In Wildness Is the Preservation of the Grotesque and Vice Versa 1.

Duke University Press FlyFishing
Book SynopsisIn Fly-Fishing, Christopher Schaberg ponders his lifetime pursuit of the widely mythologized art of fly-fishing. From the Michigan lakeshore where he learned to fish to casting flies in a New Orleans bayou, Schaberg sketches landscapes and fish habitats and shows how fly-fishing allows him to think about coexisting with other species. It offers Schaberg a much-needed source of humility, social isolation, connection with nature, and a reminder of environmental degradation. Rather than centering fishing on trophies, conquest, and travel, he advocates for a “small-fishing” that values catching the diminutive fish near one’s home. Introspective and personal, Fly-Fishing demonstrates how Schaberg’s obsession indelibly shapes how he understands and lives in the wider world.Trade Review"[A] short but sweet meditation on the art of fly-fishing.

The author fishes not to forget the entanglements, but rather to assert a more tonic relationship to their context." -- Richard Adams Carey * Wall Street Journal *"Schaberg's observations and conclusions are insightful without being overbearing, the latter too often found in books on angling and fly angling in particular.

Texas A & M University Press It's More Than Fishing: The Art of Texas Trout
Book SynopsisThe only constant in fishing is that the fish are still trying to avoid being caught as hard today as they were 100 or 1,000 years ago. To improve as anglers, we must be willing to change and evolve."It's More Than Fishing is a how-to guide for Texas coastal fishing that addresses a number of key aspects of coastal angling, including the basics of patterning, fishing the Texas surf, choosing lures and baits, and what to keep in mind when hiring a fishing guide. In addition to these how-to elements, It's More Than Fishing also includes insight and information from marine biologist anglers about coastal and marine conservation. Author Patrick D. Murray has spent more than two decades as a marine conservation professional, and he emphasizes the critical role of recreational anglers in protecting marine resources. Each chapter begins with a handy summary to guide readers through the information, making it easy to jump around.Throughout the book, Murray reminds the reader that angling is part science, but it's also part art. Similar to yoga, culinary pursuits, and martial arts, angling is an evolving skill that has been in practice for centuries. Successful fishing requires a mixture of knowledge, practice, patience, and skill. Murray believes that if anglers view their pursuit as an art, they will only invest in developing their skills, but their passion for fishing and ocean resources will increase along with their catches.Trade Review“Pat Murray is my favorite fishing writer. This book brings my appreciation of his writing to a new level because we get to see the man who passionately loves fishing and who even more passionately loves conserving fish and their habitat in his element. This book will not only give you deep insight into catching specks and reds, it will inspire you truly appreciate the God-given gift that is coastal fishing.”- Chester Moore, wildlife journalist and editor in chief, Texas Fish & Game “If you want to catch more fish out of the Gulf, proceed to checkout right now. Murray’s simple yet cerebral conversation delicately balances focused details with broad concepts that make you want to set the book down and proceed immediately to the boat ramp, but you can’t because the writing is so damn good. Witty, insightful, experience-driven and somehow loaded with fresh new perspectives on one of mankind’s oldest pursuits, this book is the ¼ oz. gold spoon of fishing literature.”- Jesse Griffiths, author of Afield, A Chef's Guide to Preparing & Cooking Wild Game & Fish “Pat Murray’s latest book is an articulate and ordered brain dump that will have any avid saltwater angler nodding in agreement. A pleasant and easy read that is a combination of how to and what to do with a valuable dose of conservation philosophy thrown in for good measure.”- Larry McKinney, senior executive director, Harte Research Institute for Gulf of Mexico Studies

Yale University Press An Entirely Synthetic Fish How Rainbow Trout Beguiled America and Overran the World
Book SynopsisProvides a researched account of the rainbow trout and why it has become the commonly stocked and controversial freshwater fish in the United States. This title examines the paradoxes and reveals a range of characters, from nineteenth-century boosters who believed rainbows could be the saviours of democracy to twenty-first-century biologists.Trade Review"With prose as engaging as it is thoughtful, Halverson has crafted an absorbing cautionary tale of ecological trial and error, documenting our tardy but increasing understanding of biological interdependence and its immeasurable value."—Washington PostWinner of the 2010 National Outdoor Book Award in the Natural History Literature category, as given by the National Outdoor Book Awards Foundation, Association of Outdoor Recreation and Education, and Idaho State University"Anyone interested in life as metaphor will find here the fascinating historical story of how different people saw their highest ideals and aspirations through the lens of a single, uncommonly compelling fish. And like democracy—but with perhaps more success—they spread it around the world. This unusually well-written, interesting book deserves a place of honor for everyone who sees in trout more than 'just' a fish."—Carl Safina, author of Song for the Blue Ocean, Eye of the Albatross, and The View From Lazy Point "A fascinating story of man’s urge to cultivate and disseminate a beautiful coldwater fish—at times to the detriment of native species but also the joy of anglers who would not otherwise have the opportunity to catch a trout. A gripping blend of early American history, discussions on taxonomy, and questions of how best to preserve wildness and the indigenous in a world where the human relationship to Nature is complex and always changing."—James Prosek, author of Trout of the World"This book rewards readers in two equally significant ways. First, it entertains us with stories of intrinsic interest and even mind-stretching improbability. Second, it invites us to be smarter and more congenial citizens, more inclined to think productively about our environmental challenges and dilemmas, and more prepared to rise above faction and return to regarding 'the public good.'"—Patricia Nelson Limerick, Faculty Director of Center for the American West, and author of The Legacy of Conquest: The Unbroken Past of the American West and Something in the Soil: Legacies and Reckonings in the New West"This is a small book that could influence big fishery issues. I found new insights into some of the problems and I am quite familiar with most of them."—Peter Moyle, University of California, Davis"The historical research, personal interviews, and putting it together has produced an outstanding piece of work."—Robert Behnke, Professor Emeritus, Colorado State University, and author of Trout and Salmon of North America

Farrar, Straus and Giroux The Founding Fish
Book SynopsisJohn McPhee''s twenty-sixth book is a braid of personal history, natural history, and American history, in descending order of volume. Each spring, American shad-Alosa sapidissima-leave the ocean in hundreds of thousands and run heroic distances upriver to spawn. McPhee--a shad fisherman himself--recounts the shad''s cameo role in the lives of George Washington and Henry David Thoreau. He fishes with and visits the laboratories of famous ichthyologists; he takes instruction in the making of shad darts from a master of the art; and he cooks shad in a variety of ways, delectably explained at the end of the book. Mostly, though, he goes fishing for shad in various North American rivers, and he fishes the same way he writes books, avidly and intensely. He wants to know everything about the fish he''s after--its history, its habits, its place in the cosmos (Bill Pride, The Denver Post). His adventures in pursuit of shad occasion the kind of writing--expert and ardent--at w

Alfred A. Knopf An Illustrated History of Trout
Book SynopsisHaving developed a passion for fishing as a boy, James Prosek searched in vain for a book that catalogued the trout he had come to treasure. Then he began painting them himself, inspired by John James Audubon's classic bird portraits. This is the dazzlingly beautiful result, with more than seventy original watercolors by a true prodigy--only twenty years old and already considered 'a fair bid to become the Audubon of the fishing world' (The New York Times). The trout of North America range from the Pacific to the Atlantic, and from the Arctic Circle to the Tropic of Cancer. No other book pictures all of the popular varieties, much less the rare, exotic, and in some cases extinct species, subspecies, and strains included in this comprehensive collection. Char; Apache, Gila, and Mexican trout; rainbow, redband, and golden trout; cutthroat trout; brown trout and Atlantic salmon--each of these, and many more, are captured in vivid watercolors, along with

Universe Publishing The Orvis Guide to Small Stream Fly Fishing
Book SynopsisThe definitive and comprehensive guide to fishing small trout streams throughout North America. Tired of the famous and crowded rivers, today’s anglers have a greater desire to get close to nature while staying closer to home. The Orvis Guide to Small Stream Fly Fishing provides all the information for finding and fishing unspoiled gems found everywhere from wilderness areas to suburban backyards. These often overlooked streams are abundant throughout the United States, and range from the Appalachians—from Maine to Georgia—to northern Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota, the Black Hills of South Dakota, the entire Rocky Mountain region from Montana to northern Arizona, and the Cascade and Sierra Nevada ranges. As more fishing is done close to home, small trout streams, or third-order streams as described by hydrologists, are thirty times as abundant as the bigger, more famous trout streams and most of them are on public land, making them more accessible. This beautifuTrade Review“Would I suggest you get this book and add it to your personal library? Without a doubt I would say if you do not you would be making a mistake! Go ahead, purchase this book and read it cover to cover or scan the contents for subjects you might be interested in. You will see an increase in your fishing pleasure and maybe find some solitude even on a busy weekend away from the madding crowds.” ~TenkaraGrasshopper.com“I can say without hesitation that I know of no one better qualified to write the essential primer on fly-fishing small streams than Tom Rosenbauer. I learned something on every page of this book.” ~James R. Babb, Editor, Gray’s Sporting Journal“A comprehensive guide to fishing small trout streams throughout North America.” ~Publishers Weekly“I learned from this book, and I’ve been inspired. In an age where fly-fishing books are constantly flooding to the market, I’m hesitant to call any work the ‘final work’ on a subject. But if you’re planning to write the ideal tome about fly fishing small streams, you need to find another topic. Tom Rosenbauer has already written that book.” Hatches Fly Tying Magazine"Perhaps your favorite angler just needs a nudge to get him to explore new waters? That’s the premise behind Orvis’s beautifully illustrated, tip-packed Guide to Small Stream Fly Fishing." ~Outside Magazine"Highly recommended: Tom Rosenbauer avoided aiming his book at the fishing novice or small stream expert and the reason for this is what makes the book remarkable: there is useful information on every page, for every level of angler. The book goes beyond being a small stream manual that’s packed with technical information: its real value lies in the fact that it will really encourage you to get out there, seek out a small stream - and fish it." ~Fly Fishing Insider
