Description

Though all fishing takes skill, fly-fishing is considered particularly challenging. The graceful method of casting employed can take years of experience to master. Making the artificial flies used in fly-fishing is an art in its own right, too. This volume introduces kids to the equipment and techniques used in fly-fishing. It also discusses the history of fly-fishing, the fly-fishing community, and the kinds of fish that are most often caught.

Description

Graceful, serene, and elegant, the art of fly fishing also provides thrilling, pulse-pounding contests between angler and fish. It’s an art whose basics can be picked up in a morning, but whose finer points can be developed and refined over a lifetime. This book teaches the basics of rod, reel, and line selection, casting, fly selection and tying, and reeling in the big ones. It also offers secret tips on promising locations to find fish, how to “read” water, and what flies work best on what fish in what types of water and weather conditions. Safety on land and on water are also stressed and discussed thoroughly, as is environmental respect and conservation. A delightful introduction to the sport and art of fly fishing, this book will inspire in readers a lifetime of outdoor activity, passion, and stewardship.

Description

In Fly-Fishing, Christopher Schaberg ponders his lifetime pursuit of the widely mythologized art of fly-fishing. From the Michigan lakeshore where he learned to fish to casting flies in a New Orleans bayou, Schaberg sketches landscapes and fish habitats and shows how fly-fishing allows him to think about coexisting with other species. It offers Schaberg a much-needed source of humility, social isolation, connection with nature, and a reminder of environmental degradation. Rather than centering fishing on trophies, conquest, and travel, he advocates for a “small-fishing” that values catching the diminutive fish near one’s home. Introspective and personal, Fly-Fishing demonstrates how Schaberg’s obsession indelibly shapes how he understands and lives in the wider world.
