Yet soon his life is in siege: his father, a legendary wilderness hunter, is dead; his wife will have nothing to do with him; his son is protected from him by the courts; and government and the local boosters are closing in on New Mexico's last wild river, threatening to cut deep into his wilderness home. In his attempts to accommodate cvilization with his own wild yearnings, Harley learns to pay dearly. Ultimately, a creature even more wild provides some clues for resolution. Home is the River is a novel of the wilderness and a story from the heart of the great Southwest.

Salmon, M. H. "Dutch": "The Catfish As Metaphor", 1997 High Lonesome Books, 1st Edition 1st Printing, Signed by the Author , Near Fine in NF DJ.  Description: The Catfish As Metaphor is a maverick, richly textured memoir of fishing, wandering, and life; it reminds us that all three are best intertwined and best managed with passion and without pretension. Based on a three-month, 10,000-mile angling idyll, The Catfish As Metaphor reveals there is much to be learned from what is arguably the most popular gamefish within the most popular outdoor sport in the country. For those eager with rod and reel, M.H. Salmon fishes with some of the best catfishers in America, and passes along a variety of knowledge, lore, and techniques. But this book reads more like a novel than a guide. Reaching back into a lifetime of fishing, the author recounts pike and bass from the wilds of Canada, huge gator gar from the deep South, trout on a fly from the New Mexico mountains, and carp in Montana. There are "days when the Red Gods smiled, and all those others when they spit in your eye; and, as age gathers in its middle years, the incoming fear that one is perhaps leaving too much slack in the line." And through it all he weaves the story of a father, the troubled tale of a uniquely American life, the man who would ultimately reveal to a son why fishing is so important in our time "as possibly our last link with the eternal verities of nature and pursuit." By the last cast, it's apparent that those who do not fish can catch as much from this book as any angler.

Salmon, M. H. "Dutch": "Country Sports", 2004 High Lonesome Books, 1st Edition 1st Printing, Signed by the Author , Near Fine w/o DJ as Issued.  Description: It is said he inspires many readers; others just get mad. A predictable result perhaps, when a writer fly fishes for wild trout one day, sets doughballs for carp the next; blasts ORVs and defends rattlesnake roundups; takes a stand for the Mexican wolf while hitting the enviros for ignoring population growth in our own USA; joins the elite gunning doves with an Italian double, then runs with the hounds hip by jowl as they take down a wild boar by tooth, nail, and a jackknife. As a homesteader, he'll help you make a crop during drought, live off the land with goats, and he reveals that Abe Lincoln was perhaps our original American proponent of sustainable agriculture. Many believe that the old rural ways are passing. Read Country Sports to know that their revival is well underway, not so much a link to the past as a good plan for the future.

Schanilec, Gaylord: "Mayflies of the Driftless Region", 2005 Self-Published, Limited Edition of 300 Signed/Numbered copies, New in New Slipcase. Quarter bound in goat leather with tooled imprint of fly in front cover, printed entirely on handmade paper, with 12 color prints done by progressive wood engraving.  [75 pgs, 7.5" x 10.75"]      (Book Description) Here in the Driftless Region of Wisconsin we have a handful of annual rituals, or signs, that we look to before we can shut off the heat for the year. We watch the ice on the river, the Mississippi, for signs of a thaw: cracks appear, and then a narrow blue tongue of open water begins its work on the ice. We watch for returning birds: the first robins arriving along the margins of the retreating snow; the turkey vultures; the eagles. It was four years ago then, that it occurred to me: "I will do a mayfly book". This was not a simple, romantic notion. The previous spring, I was in a fly fishing shop, and the proprietor asked me if I needed help with fly selection. I knew practically nothing about mayflies, and, to hide my ignorance, I mumbled something about being a "terrestrial man". [Terrestrials being] not dependant on the specific combination of predictable factors involved in putting a mayfly on the water, but this pales in comparison to the craft, and science, required for the successful presentation of a counterfeit mayfly.

By the time I've reached the end of the path, I've shut out the sounds of cars a hundred yards away on Main Street. For the next hour, the world will shrink to this little piece of water."      What could be better than to work in a business that relates so closely to one's hobby? Art Scheck works in the fishing business as an author and magazine editor. In this collection, he confesses how he became disenchanted with fishing when he began working long hours in the business, and how his humor and his love of time spent alone fishing whatever water was nearby brought back his appreciation of the simple joys of fishing for fun.

Schmookler, Paul & Ingrid Sils: "Forgotten Flies", 1999 Complete Sportsman, 1st Edition 1st Printing, As New in As New DJ, still in plastic cover and original box   [560 pgs, 11.25" x 14.25" - HUGE]. During the last couple of decades of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century, a small number of dedicated craftsmen worked to create the art of fly tying in America. Tiers such as John Harrington Keene, Mary Orvis Marbury and Herb Welch were in time joined by others, notably Carrie Frost, Theodore Gordon, Louis Rhead, Carrie Stevens, Charles DeFeo, Preston Jennings, and Ray Bergman. Regardless of their age or gender, these tiers shared characteristics that made them a new and active core at the center of the trade. In their time, they were successful far beyond normal expectations and enjoyed ever-widening reputations and influence. Unfortunately what happened next is a phenomenon that transpires all too frequently in history. Their work simply went out of fashion. There have been hundreds, even thousands, of early amateur tiers who were never acknowledged for their contributions to American fly tying. We have selected five individuals to represent those untold craftsmen who left collections of dressings that were forgotten or scattered for decades.

Among auld recipes, a cryptic reference to a legendary local fisherman named Shupton leads him on a hunt for the pattern of the legend’s perfect fly. This clever mystery pokes fun, satirizes, and even lambastes, and it all works because Schullery understands both the sport and those who love it.

Both share an appreciation for the detail and beauty of handmade excellence. They also share a deliberate connection with the natural world evidenced by the places they frequent, the lifestyles they choose, and the classic rods they prefer.

     ‘Moose in the Water/Bamboo on the Bench’ provides an intimate look into the rodmakers’ world and the lives of two people who have followed in the footsteps of yesterday’s artisans. Set at the edge of the “North Woods” of Maine, it is a story of lasting relationships, of lakes and mountaintops, of dogs and rodmaking dogma, and of autumn landscapes made breathless by the resounding wing beats of migrating waterfowl.

Her words are easy and relaxing. We catch a glimpse of frozen ponds, crippling ice storms, frolicking mink, and emerging frogs of spring skillfully accented by the contemplative pursuit of crafting a split bamboo rod. It is here where the head-waters are born which eventually rush into our rivers as melted snow, and, ultimately, flow into our dreams.

Sloan, Stephen:"Ocean Bankruptcy" , 2003 The Lyons Press, 1st Edition 1st Printing, Signed by the Author , New  [277 pgs, 6.5" x 9.25"]  (Cover Price: $24.95).  These copies, directly from the authors Fisheries Organization are special as they have a Meltzoff Painting on the cover where the ones sold at the book stores do not.  (Review)  This breakthrough book describes the games that nations and organizations play in order to exploit the ocean's migratory fishery resources in the Atlantic, Caribbean, and Mediterranean waters. It examines the attitudes and actions of different countries, fishermen, and consumers, all lobbying for greater allocations for themselves while the supply of fish is being rapidly depleted. Stephen Sloan weaves together his provable theory that the oceans are being depleted three times faster than is reported by scientists. He uses simple formulas and addresses what the numbers mean in a biological/ecological sense, and whether they match up with those found in statistical reports. Ocean Bankruptcy offers a fresh look at the world of fisheries conservation. The author tells this unique story through accounts of international meetings of government delegations, lobbyists, special-interest groups, and nongovernmental environmental organizations. The book utilizes nonscientific jargon that will appeal to the large number of people who are concerned about the health of our oceans, and ultimately, the health of our planet.

An accompanying CD or video that shows the ocean practices is available for $5.00. See order instructions in book.
