Excerpt from Practical Trout Culture In the following pages we hope to present to our readers, as far as can be presented in a volume, the theory and practice of fish culture - the theory as we understand it, and the practice as we have performed it at our fish farm near Bloomsbury, N. J. This farm was purchased by us in August, 1867, of Mr. Thad deus Norris, a gentleman well-known both as an author and angler. The place was in an unfinished condition, but one pond had been erected and stocked with a few hundred sickly fishes. At first, our undertaking was anything but prosperous. Our stock fishes died by dozens; our spawn, from want of proper knowledge of the theory Of impregnation, and the sickly con dition of our parent fishes, perished by thousands. Musk rats bored their way through our improperly-constructed banks; a flood carried away thousands from our badly-located hatching house, and, finally, during our absence from home, some kind ih dividuuls relieved us Of a large number of our finest fishes.

Sprinkled in between the fly dressings and tying lessons—and alongside his own personal anecdotes—longtime fishing guide Doug Stewart shares insights and instructions that will add to your fishing success in this illustrated guide. The Practical Fly Fisher will help you become a more complete angler, a better fly tier, and a more successful fly fisher. On top of covering all aspects of fly fishing: casting, proper equipment, tying flies, reading water, the feeding habits of fish, and the proper strategy for fishing a stretch of river, included inside in the book are the secrets of Doug’s favorite patterns. Doug Stewart, a lifelong fly fisher, is also a fly-tying instructor, guide and a fly shop owner. He has written about fly-fishing for The Oregon Sportsman and Amato Publications. Doug spent many years teaching customers how to fly fish during the thirty-two years he owned Stewart’s Fly Shop. “I think I get more out of teaching someone, out of seeing them be successful or catch their first fish, than I do out of catching my own,” Doug says.
The essays in this book detail Paul Schullery's thoughtful philosophical understanding of the western fly fisher: where we came from, what we care about, and what our prospects are.
