Book Description
To catch fish, you need to know where to fish. Steve visited every location discussed and discovered Maryland provides a startling array of trout fishing opportunities, ranging from some surprising locations on the Eastern Shore all the way to the wild and roiling rivers of Garrett County in the western mountains. This book covers 100% of the stocked trout water in Maryland along with the better known wild trout streams. For each, Steve provides a description, directions and an itemized list of access points. However, knowing anglers judge water by "how it looks," he includes at least one picture (551 total) for each location, allowing you to make an informed judgment before burning the gas to visit any particular spot. Given the availability of GPS technology on devices ranging from cell phones to car navigation systems, Steve includes 902 GPS coordinates to describe the stream boundaries as well as every known access point. Plug these into your navigation system for custom directions or into the Google(TM) satellite view for a bird's-eye perspective of the water and the surrounding terrain. Add your own favorite wild streams using the methodological approach described in the chapter on "Blue Lining." Finally, Steve's chapter on "Stocked Trout Behavior" contains lessons learned from a number scientific studies. Understanding the movement dynamics of freshly stocked fish allows you to position yourself to maximize your catch Reviewed and checked by members of the Potomac-Patuxent and Northern Virginia Chapters of Trout Unlimited, Potomac Valley Fly Fishers, and the Annapolis Chapter of the Free State Fly Fishers. Feedback included: "Likely to be regarded as the 'Bible' for trout fishing" "Your work is well prepared, it is impressive"

Trout Bum
Author: John Gierach
Publisher: Graphic Arts Books
ISBN: 0871089793
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 167
Book Description
Trout Bum is a fresh, contemporary look at fly fishing, and the way of life that grows out ofa passion for it. The people, the places, and the accoutrements that surround the sport make a fishing trip more than a set of tactics and techniques. John Gierach, a serious fisherman with a wry sense of humor, show us just how much more with his fishing stories and a unique look at the fly-fishing lifestyle. Trout Bum is really about why people fish as much as it is about how they fish, and it is ultimately about enduring values and about living in a harmony with our environment. Few books have had the impact on an entire generation that Trout Bum has had on the fly-fishing world. The wit, warmth, and the easy familiarity that John Gierach brings to us in Trout Bum is as fresh and engaging now was when it was first published twenty-five years ago. There's no telling how many anglers have quit their jobs and headed west after reading the first edition of this classic collection of fly-fishing essays.

Guide to Maryland Trout Fishing

Pages : 0
Book Description
Completely revised and updated, including two new streams and updated maps 16 trout streams, with detailed information on hatches, tactics, and access List of major Maryland fly shops and other important resources As with the two prior editions, our aim in the book is to provide a clear picture of each stream and to aid the angler in his or her fishing efforts on that water. For the 16 streams and rivers presented in the book, we offer a description; discuss the characteristics of the trout that inhabit it and how to fish for those trout; note the tackle and equipment that are appropriate; describe insect hatches and other stream life; point to some of the problems facing the stream; and tell you how to get there. A big part of getting you there is a good map, and we have sought to create the very best maps possible. In presenting this information, one of our main goals has been to offer useful and interesting information, without getting the reader lost in too many details. Each existing chapter has been revised and updated, including both the narrative and the maps. And you will notice two new chapters, one on the catch-and-release section of the Patuxent River tailwater below Brighton Dam and the other on the parts of Catoctin Creek that are now under delayed harvest regulations. Although the book is oriented toward fly fishing, we aimed to make it useful to spin fishers as well. Most of the streams we describe permit both spin fishing and fly fishing. Stream descriptions, discussions of stocking policies and trout in each river, as well as the maps and driving directions will be every bit as pertinent to spin fishers as fly anglers.

Trout Fishing in America
Author: Richard Brautigan
Publisher: HMH
ISBN: 054748870X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 141
Book Description
A book “that has very little to do with trout fishing and a lot to do with the lamenting of a passing pastoral America . . . an instant cult classic” (Financial Times). Richard Brautigan was a literary idol of the 1960s and ’70s who came of age during the heyday of Haight-Ashbury and whose comic genius and iconoclastic vision of American life caught the imaginations of young people everywhere. Called “the last of the Beats,” his early books became required reading for the hip generation, and on its publication Trout Fishing in America became an international bestseller. An indescribable romp, the novel is best summed up in one word: mayonnaise. This new edition features an introduction by poet Billy Collins, who first encountered Brautigan’s work as a student in California. From the introduction: “‘Trout Fishing in America’ is a catchphrase that morphs throughout the book into a variety of conceptual and dramatic shapes. At one point it has a physical body that bears such a resemblance to that of Lord Byron that it is brought by ship from Missolonghi to England, in 1824, where it is autopsied. ‘Trout Fishing in America’ is also a slogan that sixth-graders enjoy writing on the backs of first-graders. . . . In one notable exhibition of the title’s variability, ‘Trout Fishing in America’ turns into a gourmet with a taste for walnut catsup and has Maria Callas for a girlfriend. Through such ironic play, Brautigan destabilizes any conventional idea of a book as he begins to create a world where things seem unwilling to stay in their customary places.”

The History of Fly-Fishing in Fifty Flies

Publisher: Abrams
ISBN: 1613127839
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 410
Book Description
A look at the development of the sport over the past six centuries. Once limited to trout and salmon, today fly-fishing techniques are used to catch every fish species from minnows to marlin in rivers, lakes and oceans from the Amazon to the Arctic. From the many thousands of fly patterns developed over the centuries, The History of Fly-Fishing in Fifty Flies focuses on fifty iconic flies chosen to represent the evolution not only of fishing flies and fly tying but also the sport itself. Filled with illustrations and photographs of the flies (the fifty are just the starting point—more than 200 flies are mentioned or shown in the book), as well as profiles of key characters, The History of Fly-Fishing in Fifty Flies charts the growth and diversification of this fascinating sport from the fifteenth century to the present day and its spread from Britain, Europe and Japan to North and South America, Australia and New Zealand, and now to every country in the world. The evolution of fly-fishing tackle—rods, reels, lines and hooks—is also covered in a series of essays spread throughout the book. Praise for The History of Fly-Fishing in Fifty Flies “A delightful ramble along the stream of fishing history.” —Star Tribune “This glorious book of lures will get you itching for a new toy, a new boat, a new rod—anything to experience the relaxation of this old hobby.” —Foreword Reviews

Virginia Trout Fishing
Author: Steve Moore
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781737019817
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 52
Book Description
Among all the options for trout fishing in Virginia, the Rapidan River stands out as a prime fishing location. The Rapidan is one of the most famous rivers on the East Coast as a result of the carefully managed trout fishery in the Shenandoah National Park and the neighboring Rapidan Wildlife Management Area. Head to the mountains to hike and fish for miles from any of the access points discussed in this book. It's all catch and release, single hook and, thankfully, most people abide by that regulation; ensuring a vibrant population of fish in every pool. The book starts at the easy access point at Graves Mill and ends at the Presidential retreat high in the mountains at Camp Hoover. It includes the small, tight, and scenic Staunton River that joins the Rapidan about a mile north of the Graves Mill parking lot. Enjoy! This book is an EXTRACT from the Wade Fishing the Rapidan River book that covered both bass and trout fishing. As a result of private property issues with the lower Rapidan, that book is off the market for now.
