Stackpole Books Pacific Coast Flies Fly Fishing
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewThe last time I fished for steelhead with Scott Sadil, he was supposed to be ensconced at an artists’ retreat, but instead he drove up the coast to meet me on a river for a few days. He wasn’t playing hooky; he’d announced to his fellow inmates that while they were navel-gazing in their secluded cabins, he’d be off researching a story. I always wondered what those artistic types thought of a writer with an actual job to do. I’ve fished with Scott enough to know him to be a good fisherman. And I’ve read his work, so I also know him to be the kind of honest writer who’ll say he aspires to be the kind of cagey angler who fishes with nothing but an Adams and a Hare’s Ear, only to admit, a paragraph or two later, that the boxes and boxes of flies he does carry amount to “a redundancy of insecurities:” a statement that rings true for any fisherman and cuts neatly through the endless theoretical blather about flies. Which is to say, there are lots of fly pattern books, but this is one of the good ones. -- John GierachI’ve fished with Scott, seen his passion for the places, for the casting, for the fish. I’ve admired Scott’s understanding of the flies, his wonderful work at the vise. Perhaps most important, I’ve read him for many years, been envious of his way with words. I’m always amazed. -- Dave Hughes, author of Wet FliesSadil deftly performs a high-wire act, admitting right off that successful fly fishing owes less to the specific fly than to how you fish that fly, and then he fills a book with fresh insights into fly-fishing and -tying that even the most jaded graybeard will treasure. -- James R. Babb, editor emeritus, Gray's Sporting Journal, and author of Fish Won't Let Me SleepCombine decades of experience on the water with a talent for observation, an abiding curiosity, and a streak of skepticism, and you have Scott Sadil. He seeks flies that will attract hits, and whether the patterns are spanking new or centuries old, he lets you know why they work, particularly for Pacific Coast fisheries. His is good, thoughtful advice. -- Richard Anderson, California Fly Fisher magazine

Tom captures and releases many good fish in this book, but more importantly he captures and then releases to us his feelings and insights and discoveries about the magnificent streams his fishy curiosity bathes him in.

Stackpole Books The Tug Is the Drug
Book SynopsisChris Santella’s peripatetic lifestyle and eye for entertaining details--even those that have little to do with the act of throwing flies at fish—translate into entertaining tales that will make you look at fishing in a whole different way.Trade ReviewSome fly-fishing books are not meant to be technical but rather to entertain and delight. Santella’s well-written short stories are about our passion: its anglers and fascinating essays. You will enjoy this one. -- Lefty Kreh, fly fishing legend and author of numerous books, including Casting with Lefty Kreh, Fly-Casting Fundamentals, and 101 FishThe list of how-to fly-fishing books is at least a mile long, but there are scant few that delve into the “why” with such clarity and credibility as this one.

If you don’t want to fish the world with a fly rod in hand after reading it, you better check for a pulse. -- Greg Thomas, Editor, Fly Rod & Reel

Rowman & Littlefield Fishing Bamboo
Book SynopsisOnce an angler masters a graphite rod, his interests often move on to the original fly rod, pliant bamboo. Until the mid-twentieth century, nearly all fly rods were bamboo. By the 1970s, fiberglass and graphite changed the world of fly-fishing. But more and more anglers are seeing bamboo rods in retail outlets, and want to give them a try. With this book, John Gierach, one of the nation's top fly-fishing writers, provides a philosophical guide to the angler who seeks this new old method. Gierach discusses how bamboo rods are built, how they differ from graphite rods, and how using one will change a fly fisher's approach to the sport. Fishing bamboo might be the pinnacle of fly-casting skill, and this book will help take you there.

This title covers a gamut of patterns essential to trout fishing in a variety of circumstances: dry flies, wet flies and nymphs, and streamers. Gierach''s legion of fans of his regular magazine column will be highly inclined to buy this title.

Rowman & Littlefield Orvis From Lure to Fly
Book SynopsisOrvis From Lure to Fly is designed specifically for the gear angler who finds him- or herself wondering: “What's this fly fishing thing all about?" What makes this book different from other entry-level fishing books is that it empowers anglers to transfer their pre-existing skill-sets, rather than asking them to learn a new sport from scratch.Trade Review"Dave Karczynski could write about a puddle of mud drying out and make it interesting. When his work crosses my desk, I read it right now. And it’s always a treat." -- Greg Thomas, former Editor, Fly Rod & Reel"No matter how old you are, coming to fly fishing from conventional fishing is, in my opinion, the best education you can have for fly fishing. (In fact, some of the very best saltwater fly anglers I know started as commercial fishermen). You are already more than halfway there. Fly fishing is not some arcane black art. It’s just another way of sticking a hook in a fish’s mouth. You are about to join someone I think you’ll come to feel is your fishing buddy. Dave will take you on a journey without condescension, and will explain all the silly fly-fishing jargon. He’ll reference similarities and differences to conventional fishing. He speaks your language. And I totally agree with Dave’s philosophy of starting with panfish. Everybody associates fly fishing with trout, but if you begin fly fishing by chasing trout you will quickly become discouraged and frustrated. Trout are hard to catch, unless you find wilderness brook trout or cutthroats that have seen minimal fishing pressure. So take fly-rod fishing in the order he presents it here. Don’t be impatient. You have the rest of your life to enjoy fly fishing alongside all the other methods of fishing you enjoy." -- Tom Rosenbauer, author of The Orvis Fly-Fishing Guide and a marketing manager with the Orvis Company in Manchester, Vermont, from the Foreword -- Tom Rosenbauer, Author and Orvis Marketing Director, from the ForewordTable of ContentsAcknowledgmentsIntroductionCHAPTER 1 Building the BridgeCHAPTER 2 Major DifferencesCHAPTER 3 Flies vs. LuresCHAPTER 4 Panfish on the FlyCHAPTER 5 Bass on the FlyCHAPTER 6 Trout on the Fly I: The Wading AnglerCHAPTER 7 Trout on the Fly II: Modern StreamersCHAPTER 8 Pike and Muskie on the FlyCHAPTER 9 Salmon and Steelhead on the FlyCHAPTER 10 Carp on the FlyCHAPTER 11 Next StepsAbout the Author

They are well worth reading for pleasure and instruction. Just as he invented the Western, Grey also pioneered sporting fishing for the large ocean species of game fish. Praise for Zane Grey on Fishing: "Zane Grey on Fishing offers some of the author's best writing: don't let this one get away!"--Library Journal "The book is a selection of some of Grey's best work, and the stories and excerpts reveal a man who understood that angling is more than an activity. It is a lifestyle."--Great Lakes Boating "What has virtually remained hidden behind his conventional formulalike books in the Western genre is that Grey's best writing came when he wrote about angling. Here he was free to blend his talent for narrative and sense of humour. " --Atlantic Salmon Journal "Of course, the big daddy of far-flung fishing is Zane Grey. This is an excellent...reader for those who may want to dip into his truly fabulous fishing life. --Gray's Sporting Journal -- E. W. Smethurst Jr., The Chicago Tribune
