The Fly Fishing Bible of Nymphing

Publisher: Independently Published
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 172
Book Description
How to Gain a Positively Unfair Advantage on the River - Even if You're Unsure what the MANY Variations of "Euro Nymphing" Actually Involve... INCLUDING Over 2 hours of supporting video material (designed to be worth the price of the book on its own) Hands up who knows what Euro nymphing is? It's incredibly popular and causes many online arguments - yet most anglers show CLEAR GAPS in their skills and knowledge. So if you want to go beyond bobbers and split shot, you'll need to dodge an overwhelming tide of BS online covering "Tight Line Nymphing" and European competition methods. While there are good books available, certain tactics are left out (keeping a number of methods known only to a handful of top anglers) and it is difficult to build a strategy for choosing and using each of the different rigs, methods and flies. The aim of this book is to arm you with the most complete range of tactics possible and give you the confidence to tackle new waters and different conditions. It does this by clearly explaining WHY to choose - as well as HOW to use - each rig & technique. The methods include: Czech nymphing (both the little-known LONG-line variant & the famous SHORT-line tactics) Polish nymphing Ladder Leader Nymphing (so you can quickly alter the spacing between your droppers, which means you're more likely to actually benefit from those "fine-tuning" tweaks) Classic French Nymphing The family of modern "Nymphe au Fil", Pêche a la Sempé and Spanish Nymphing French Leader with Dry Fly French Leader with Streamer Duo and Trio (Euro-style Hopper/Dropper with "everything off the water" up to the dry) Slovakian nymphing ...and even a little "suspension" nymphing so that the typical "Tight-line Euro tactics" don't have it all their own way All this is underpinned by the understanding of a freshwater biologist (and nymph fishing addict) which reveals important secrets of predators and prey behaviour in our rivers - and how to hotwire that system with our artificial flies. Stories from around the world bring the tactics to life - as well as making the take-home messages much more memorable (so you'll actually use them in your own fishing) PLUS: Full color photos of actual flies gifted during major international competition events which let you peek inside boxes of multiple World Championship competitors (including captains and coaches) Multiple Detailed Spotlight Features on: Sighters/indicators ★ Reading the Water ★ Stealth ★ Casting ★ Feeding Biology of Fish ★ Trade Secret Leader Recipes and Chemical Treatments★ A Simplified Set of Fly Patterns ★ Magic Bullet Method (Selecting Rigs, Flies & Fishing Locations) Method in my Madness Carefully layering the information means that there are "quick win" tips you can use right away - while bigger ideas build up and become absorbed naturally over the course of the book. I believe this gives you the best chance of greatly improving your ability to catch fish, to adapt to situations - and perhaps "re-boot" your love of fly fishing in the process! Who SHOULDN'T buy this? This is a practical, paperback manual - not an ornament. Don't buy this book if informal, conversational language or Sans Serif font aren't your things. You can check out the design/layout in Amazon's "Look Inside" preview feature before you purchase.

Dead Hot Shot
Author: Victoria Houston
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1440531595
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 283
Book Description
Murder never takes a holiday...or so Loon Lake learns one wintry Thanksgiving Day. Chief of Police Lew Ferris, short-handed thanks to an AWOL coroner, never even gets the turkey stuffed before the bodies start to surface. By the end of the day, credit card theft and dysfunctional families have so muddied the waters that not even expert tracker and dedicated fishing guide Ray Pradt can hope to fish the final day of muskie season. And while retired dentist Doc Osborne had counted on sitting by the fire with Lew (out of uniform) and planning a fly-fishing trip to Wyoming, the unexpected arrival of Gina Palmer, former investigative reporter turned forensics database expert, ramps up the action with her pursuit of a Canadian link to the theft of merchandise from stores across the upper Midwest. Dead Hot Shot, ninth in the Loon Lake Mystery series, is a heady mix of murder, mayhem, and fishing in the northwoods of Wisconsin.

In the midst of a catastrophic August rainstorm, a grisly discovery shatters the serenity of a summer evening in northern Wisconsin. Moving quickly to prevent a panic among tourists, Loon Lake Police Chief Lewellyn Ferris enlists the forensic and interrogation skills of her close friend and fellow fly fisherman, the retired dentist "Doc" Osborne. Within hours of launching their investigation, they find themselves faced with a national media circus as Loon Lake becomes the focus of a murderous scenario that links the murder to the race for the U.S. Senate by a woman who is heir to a Northwoods fortune and other, less savory, family traditions. In the meantime, Doc Osborne's eldest daughter, Mallory, enters into a relationship that may put her life at risk--unless her father and Chief Ferris can find the killer stalking the residents of Loon Lake.
