The
Little Red Book of Fly Fishing (Little Red Books)
by Charlie Meyers, Kirk Deeter
Hardcover from Skyhorse Publishing
ISBN: 1602399816
A pocket guide that offers insightful, plainspoken, expert advice
for every fly fisher.
Two highly respected outdoor journalists, Kirk Deeter of Field &
Stream and Charlie Meyers of the Denver Post, have cracked open
their notebooks and shared straight-shot advice on the sport of fly fishing,
based on a range of new and old experiences--from interviews with the late
Lee Wulff to travels with maverick guides in Tierra del Fuego.
The mission of The Little Red Book of Fly Fishing is to demystify
and un-complicate the tricks and tips that make a great trout fisher. There
are no complicated physics lessons here. Rather, conceived in the "take
dead aim" spirit of Harvey Penick's classic instructional on golf, The
Little Red Book of Fly Fishing offers a simple, digestible primer on
the basic elements of fly fishing: the cast, presentation, reading water,
and selecting flies. In the end, this collection of 240 tips is one of
the most insightful, plainly spoken, and entertaining works on this sport--one
that will serve both novices and experts alike in helping them reflect
and hone in their approaches to fly fishing. |

Goes Fishing (Thomas & Friends) (Step into Reading)
by Rev. W. Awdry
Paperback from Random House Books for Young Readers
Media Published: 2005-
ISBN: 0375831185
Thomas often sees his young friends standing by the stream fishing.
It looks like so much fun that Thomas wants to go fishing too. One

And soon, Thomas' boiler is what the driver is fishing in!
In the early 1940s, a loving father crafted a small, blue, wooden engine
for his son, Christopher. The stories that this father, the Reverend W
Awdry, made up to accompany this wonderful toy were first published in
1945. |

Against
the Tide: The Fate of the New England Fisherman
Richard Adams Carey, Harry Foster (Editor)
Like many kids fortunate enough to spend summers by the shore, writer/journalist
Richard Adams Carey grew up with a healthy respect for fishermen and the
sea, "a world of astonishing color and shape and texture, of surprise and
a perceptible knife-edge of menace." During the '90s, when headlines described
the demise of New England's small-boat family fishermen, he decided to
head back to Cape Cod to learn what he could about a threatened way of
life and the forces--political, commercial, ecological--which imperil the
survival of the fish the industry depends on. To this end, he spent a year
working alongside four veterans of the Cape's inshore waters: a crewmate
on a dragger (a boat that catches groundfish with a dragnet towed along
the ocean bottom); a lobsterman; a long-liner (who sets quarter-mile or
longer fishing lines sporting baited hooks every three feet); and a quahog
dredger (essentially a clammer who harvests in bulk). Carey deftly weaves
the details of their hard-won, unpredictable lives with passages on local
and global fishing history, the minutiae of national and regional legislation
severely regulating the fishing industry, the vicissitudes of the weather,
and a smattering of stories and anecdotes. Throughout colonial times, for
instance, fishermen regularly caught lobsters 4 feet long and weighing
45 pounds! Such an ancient, sizable creature is nearly inconceivable today.
Despite the tenacity of the men he fished with, Carey acknowledges that
the owner-operators of small family boats off New England are likely going
the way of the family farmer. Yet he reminds us that the issues deciding
their fate concern us all: "how to tap this continent's wealth without
plundering and despoiling it; how to reconcile our hard-wired demand for
growth and consumption with a husbandman's concern for sustainability;
how to mark our limits and resolutely stay within them." --Svenja Soldovieri
