Summary: This book is my visionary rant on the biology and behavior of Chinook salmon This book contains essays on the nature of estuary fishing; tackle and angling technique; remarks about fly angler ethics and etiquette, effective flies; fishing stories from 2003 - 2015; brief descriptions of other angling opportunities for the flyfisher on the Oregon coast, and essays contributed Stan Davis.Note Please: this is a HUGE BOOK, not for the faint-of-heart. I strongly recommend that anyone who purchases this book take it straight-away to a business like OFFICE MAX or FED EX and get it spiral bound. They will cut off the spine and put plastic covers while spiral binding - the book will be far easier to read and far more durable. Thank you all for your support. Have fun with this one.
An unassuming scientist takes an unbelievable adventure in the Middle East in this “extraordinary” novel—the inspiration for the major motion picture starring Ewan McGregor (The Guardian). Dr. Alfred Jones lives a quiet, predictable life. He works as a civil servant for the National Centre for Fisheries Excellence in London; his wife, Mary, is a determined, no-nonsense financier; he has simple routines and unassuming ambitions. Then he meets Muhammad bin Zaidi bani Tihama, a Yemeni sheikh with money to spend and a fantastic—and ludicrous—dream of bringing the sport of salmon fishing to his home country. Suddenly, Dr. Jones is swept up in an outrageous plot to attempt the impossible, persuaded by both the sheikh himself and power-hungry members of the British government who want nothing more than to spend the sheikh’s considerable wealth. But somewhere amid the bureaucratic spin and Yemeni tall tales, Dr. Jones finds himself thinking bigger, bolder, and more impossibly than he ever has before. Told through letters, emails, interview transcripts, newspaper articles, and personal journal entries, Salmon Fishing in the Yemen is “a triumph” that both takes aim at institutional absurdity and gives loving support to the ideas of hopes, dreams, and accomplishing the impossible (The Guardian).

The Behavior and Ecology of Pacific Salmon and Trout explains the patterns of mate choice, the competition for nest sites, and the fate of the salmon after their death. It describes the lives of offspring during the months they spend incubating in gravel, growing in fresh water, and migrating out to sea to mature. This thorough, up-to-date survey should be on the shelf of everyone with a professional or personal interest in Pacific salmon and trout. Written in a technically accurate but engaging style, it will appeal to a wide range of readers, including students, anglers, biologists, conservationists, legislators, and armchair naturalists.
Steelhead flies represent the highest echelon of artistic fly-dressing. They enjoy a rich tradition as both a functionally designed lure for tempting the much-reversed stellhead, but also as a creative expression of the asthetic appeal of fly angling. John Shewey, author of the acclaimed Spey Flies and Dee Flies, has produced another well-written and researched book, rich in techniquee, method and innovation. Through concise text and hundreds of sharp, color photographs -- including step-by-step and artistic individual fly plates==Shewey coves: materials for steelhead flies; basic tying techniques; hairwing and featherwing flies; spey abd dee styles; practiitioners, shrimp and prawn patterns; dry flies and uch more. This book is a must-have for all steelhead fly-fishermen.
A distinguished antiquarian bookseller, Wood has been pursuing these fish for decades, and has what is probably the most extensive collection in private hands. For this selective bibliography he has chosen 230 of the most interesting titles (some of them so rare that they might be encountered only once in a lifetime) and arranged them by country and date. All titles are illustrated. What makes this a real pleasure is the knowledge he brings to bearnot only as a bookman, but also as a reader and a fisherman
This softcover, spiral book contains 28 fly patterns that can be used to match most fishing situations. Each pattern includes information on what the fly imitates, and when, where, and how to fish it. These patterns were chosen not only for their ability to catch trout, but also to show the different types and styles of commonly used flies. To reduce the number of patterns needed, natural insects with similar body shapes or stages of development are grouped together, and one or two basic patterns that imitate the insects in each group are presented. Then by changing the size and or body color of the basic pattern, you can match all of the naturals in its group. With each basic pattern there is a photograph showing useful variations of the fly or a similar pattern. Each basic pattern is accompanied by instructions on how to tie it. If you are not a fly tier, most of the patterns or ones similar to them can be purchased from a fly shop.
Sub-title from cover: A fully illustrated guide to the strategy, finesse, tactics and paraphernalia of fly fishing.
