2008 The Lyons Press; 1st Ed, 1st Printing, Signed by the Author
Near Fine 4to Hardcover, in Near Fine DJ
(Description) Signed by Both Authors! DJ has some sort of tooling markacross the front, otherwise this is a brand new book. *** (Synopsis) Gary LaFontaine has automatic name recognition in the fly-fishing world-he's known as one of the smartest and most dedicated innovators of new trout fly patterns in the latter twentieth century. His methods changed fly tying in America, and he was nowhere near done when he died of Lou Gehrig's disease in 2002 at age fifty-six. His death was mourned around the world. Many of the flies in this posthumous collection of trout-fly patterns are likely to become enduring standards. Authors Al and Gretchen Beatty were working with LaFontaine and tiers Paul and Char Stimpson on an instructional film in the months before the fly tier died. These are the flies that LaFontaine spoke of during filming. These are the flies showcased in LaFontaine's Legacy., AB00129.

Borger, Gary A.: Fishing the Film; 0962839272 / 9780962839276, New Book
2010 Tomorrow River Press; 1st Ed, 1st Printing, Signed by the Author
Near Fine 8vo Hardcover, No Jacket, as issued
(Description) Book as new with pictoral boards and thus no jacket issued. *** (Synopsis) Fishing the Film still holds the greatest attraction for the fly rodder in any water type. Fish feeding at the surface film are not necessarily eating ôdry fliesö; they might be feeding on emergers, nymphs, minnows swimming near the surface, mice or frogs swimming in the film, and other organisms utilizing the uppermost layer of the water. In this book, Gary Borger covers the skills necessary for successfully fishing the film, including an understanding of what fish see when feeding at the surface. There's a thorough look at the food organisms of the film zone and Gary reveals the secret of the Universal Emerger, hatch types, rise forms, and much more. The book contains a host of tactics for fishing the film, including both dead-drift and action-packed presentations. A chapter entitled, ôWhat, When, Where, Why, and Howö details the presentation tactics for fishing stream and lake situations., AB00743.

He's forged a few tenuous friendships, and now finds himself watching from the bank as troubled local girl Jesse Ringer leads D'Ontario Sneed into the swift current of young love. It's sweet, really . but some of the locals object to the relationship on the basis of Sneed's skin color. Then the unthinkable: vibrant, wild Jesse is found shot in the head, and Sneed is passed out in her car, gun beside him, window seams taped, and engine running. Sneed is hospitalized for severe carbon monoxide poisoning and can't string together a sentence to defend himself, so it falls to the Dog. If only the Dog could run from his life without ending up in the tangle and snarl of the lives of others. A man who wants to lose himself in the current must be careful of his backcast; it'll always keep him tethered to a life he's trying to forget., AB00388.

Griffiths, Terry (Editor): The Essential Kelson; A Fly-Tyer's Compendium; 1904784313 / 9781904784319, New Book
2011 Flyfisher's Classic Library; 1st Ed, 1st Printing,
Near Fine 4to Hardcover, in Near Fine DJ
(Synopsis) If there is one milestone in the whole of salmon fishing literature which no fisherman should be without, it is George Mortimer Kelson's The Salmon Fly: how to dress it and how to use it, first published in 1895. Terry Griffiths, in his brilliant new book, The Essential Kelson has made a meticulous study of the complete writings of Kelson, showing how far ahead of his time he really was. Terry has invited some of the world's foremost classic salmon fly-tyers to interpret and tie many of Kelson's extremely complex patterns, giving us a new understanding of his unique take on the classic salmon fly. These have been beautifully photographed and lavishly reproduced on high quality paper. This definite new interpretation of Kelson, his philosophy and work, will doubtless enhance his deserved reputation as the classic salmon fly-tyer by which so many modern tyers set their sights., AB01025.

Halverson, Anders: An Entirely Synthetic Fish; 0300140878 / 9780300140873, New Book
2010 Yale University Press; 1st Ed, 1st Printing, Signed by the Author
Near Fine 8vo Hardcover, in Near Fine DJ
(Synopsis) Anders Halverson provides an exhaustively researched and grippingly rendered account of the rainbow trout and why it has become the most commonly stocked and controversial freshwater fish in the United States. Discovered in the remote waters of northern California, rainbow trout have been artificially propagated and distributed for more than 130 years by government officials eager to present Americans with an opportunity to get back to nature by going fishing. Proudly dubbed ?an entirely synthetic fishö by fisheries managers, the rainbow trout has been introduced into every state and province in the United States and Canada and to every continent except Antarctica, often with devastating effects on the native fauna. Halverson examines the paradoxes and reveals a range of characters, from nineteenth-century boosters who believed rainbows could be the saviors of democracy to twenty-first-century biologists who now seek to eradicate them from waters around the globe. Ultimately, the story of the rainbow trout is the story of our relationship with the natural world. How it has changed and how it startlingly has not., AB00741.
