Stackpole Books Pacific Coast Flies & Fly Fishing: A Comprehensive Guide to Tying and Fishing Over 60 Patterns
From Alaska to the tip of the Baja California peninsula, Pacific Coast fly fishers enjoy a wealth of angling opportunities that have inspired their own selections of new and traditional fly patterns. For the first time in the sport’s history, Scott Sadil offers a lineup of proven patterns to take advantage of the region’s unsurpassed reach of flyrod prey: trout, salmon, steelhead, and both the inshore and bluewater species along the east and west coasts of the Baja peninsula.Pacific Coast Flies & Flyfishing champions the fly patterns and fly-fishing adventure unique to these waters. This book includes over 70 fly patterns, instructions for tying each pattern, and an image of the completed fly. An introductory essay for each fly describes the development of the fly, the fishing situations in which it’s typically used, the angling problems it might solve, plus the fly’s historical antecedents. The patterns are divided equally between flies used for trout, flies used for salmon and steelhead, and flies tied specifically for saltwater species.To date there has never been a single book that embraces the wealth of flies and fly-fishing adventure available to Pacific Coast anglers. Over the past three decades, author Scott Sadil has written more than any other writer about the full range of the region’s angling opportunities. His well-known work stands at the center of the Pacific Coast fly fishing community, one of the largest in the world today.

Stackpole Books Goodnews River: Wild Fish, Wild Waters, and the Stories We Find There
This collection of 22 stories set on fabled waters from Alaska to Baja confirms Scott Sadil's reputation as a writer of literary fiction in the best sporting tradition. The stories capture the beauty of wild fish and the waters and landscapes where we find them and go beyond the fishing to explore relationships—between parents and children, husbands and wives, siblings, lovers, and friends—the real life situations that evoke the same win-lose drama played out between anglers and their prey. A master of language and sophisticated storytelling, Sadil brings a warm-hearted appreciation to the graceful messiness of human lives, especially the moments—sometimes humorous, always intimate—when we're hooked to something we feel certain we care about more than anything else in our lives.
