Altizer, Michael: The Last Best Day: A Trout Fisher's Perspective; 0977855163, New Book
2007 Sporting Classics; Limited Edition, Signed by the Author
As New 8vo Hardcover, No Jacket, as issued
Note, this Limited Edition cover not the same as pictured here. ***(Synopsis) The Last Best Day is not a book about how to fly fish, but instead about what fly fishing means and how it feels and where it can lead, both in body and in spirit. Its 40 stories are strung together only loosely and may be taken individually or as a whole. Collectively they lead from the creeks and rivers of the Appalachians, to the high country and deserts streams of the American Southwest, to the great salmon, rainbow and grayling waters of Alaska, and then back to the little brook trout stream where the snow monster lives. They take you to places you may never have dared venture - and in the end they take you home. But wherever they take you, you will remember the journey., AB00973.

Ames, Thomas Jr.: Fishbugs; 0881506753, New Book
2005 The Countryman Press; 1st Ed, 1st Printing,
Very Good+ 4to Hardcover, in Very Good+ DJ
(Synopsis) For centuries anglers have struggled with their peculiar dependency on the aquatic insects that put the word fly in fly fishing, discoursing obsessively on how to replicate them with fur & feathers, and even about what to call them. Volumes have been written on the subject, but until now, there has never been a book like Fishbugs. Author Thomas Ames Jr. lets his photographic skills take center stage. His bigger-then life studies of mayflies, caddisflies, and other waterborne insects, captured in extraordinary detail, allow you see them as never before. Fly tyers will appreciate them as models for their imitations, while naturalists & other lovers of nature photography admire them for their intrinsic beauty. His thoughtful prose examines the special characteristics that keep these fascinating insects at the heart of the angler's gentle art & underscores their value as indicators of the health of our inland waters., AB00508.

Fine 8vo Hardcover, in Near Fine DJ
(Description) Very minor bump at top of spine. Signed by both Babb and Nick Lyons, the Publisher!! *** (Synopsis) James Babb is one of the funniest essayists at work today, and each of the ribald tales in RlVER MUSIC is imbued with his devastating wit, ornery perspective, and musical language. As he writes in the Prelude, his newest opus is about the occasional laugh, the occasional thought, a bit about fly fishing and a bit about Life, and all of it underpinned by the music of rivers. The pieces are arranged by season, as are our lives, and touch on the music that rivers make.He recounts a disastrous - and hilarious - spring canoeing trip with a friend in The Darling Buds of May, where the snow accumulated so quickly on their hats that they looked like Conehead voyageurs from Rem-ulak. In The Coriolis Effect, Babb rhapsodizes about the sights, smells, and culture of what he considers to be the last great place on Earth, where pristine Chilean waters and native way of life relieve him of an obsession about which direction the water flushes. And in Little Jewels, he weaves an exquisite, deeply humorous, and haunting nocturne with peccadillo accompaniment that considers the mating habits of trout and men, mortality, and a thirty-nine-year-long unrequited love., AB00440.

Very Good 8vo Hardcover, in Very Good+ DJ
(Description) Slight bumps to corners, else a near-new copy of this book. Signed by the Author and Nick Lyons, the Publisher. *** (Synopsis) Jim Babb is one of the most eccentric and riveting new voices to appear in the world of fly fishing in many years. From his early days growing up in a small eastern Tennessee town to his migration through Brahmin Boston to the backwoods of Maine (where he built his own house, by hand), Babb's story is as unique as it is brilliantly told. He explores his first fly rods in Blue Collar Cane; his early use of the wet fly; and the expeditions he made for bream. Always, he fly fishes with a maverick genius, building a way of seeing and experiencing the world of fly fishing that is all his own, and that carries him from the ponds of Maine to great fly-fishing opportunities throughout the world as editor of Gray's Sporting Journal. What rings on every page of this book, writes Ted Lesson, is a tremendously energetic, expressive, and robust voice... It is distinctive and original, an authentic voice, pure homegrown. And the story that voice tells is always connected to fly fishing-in waters near and far, always memorable., AB00478.

As he writes in the Prelude, his newest opus is about the occasional laugh, the occasional thought, a bit about fly fishing and a bit about Life, and all of it underpinned by the music of rivers. The pieces are arranged by season, as are our lives, and touch on the music that rivers make.He recounts a disastrous - and hilarious - spring canoeing trip with a friend in The Darling Buds of May, where the snow accumulated so quickly on their hats that they looked like Conehead voyageurs from Rem-ulak. In The Coriolis Effect, Babb rhapsodizes about the sights, smells, and culture of what he considers to be the last great place on Earth, where pristine Chilean waters and native way of life relieve him of an obsession about which direction the water flushes. And in Little Jewels, he weaves an exquisite, deeply humorous, and haunting nocturne with peccadillo accompaniment that considers the mating habits of trout and men, mortality, and a thirty-nine-year-long unrequited love., AB01151.

Barich, Bill: Crazy for Rivers; 1558217053, New Book

As New 8vo Hardcover, in Near Fine DJ
(Synopsis) A lyrical reminiscence of a magical autumn of fishing-and a lifetime love affair with rivers. That autumn, I went a little crazy for rivers, and this charming little volume captures the essence of an admittedly insidious obsession. To some, the recollections here will betray that the author is, indeed, crazy. But to anyone who remembers the unending patience of a grandfather on a lake, or the romance of a mountain getaway with a girlfriend who has since become a wife; to anyone who can recall each fish caught on days that were too hot, or way too cold, or on rivers too crowded or in canyons too steep; to anyone who has appreciated the trust of an age-old fishing partner, or the trust of a complete stranger sharing a special hole.. to anyone, in fact, who has ever felt a little crazy for rivers, Bill Barich's wonderful memories of a season of rivers and a lifetime of fishing will not seem crazy at all., AB00439.

Barilla, James: West with the Rise; Fly-fishing across America; 0813925371, New Book
2006 Univ. of Virgina Press; 1st Ed, 1st Printing,
Near Fine 8vo Hardcover, in Near Fine DJ
(Description) Brand new unread, clean and tight. *** (Synopsis) The first book to follow a fly-fishing trip from coast to coast, West with the Rise is James Barilla's account of a solitary journey that begins in New England and ends in Northern California, with little more to keep him company than a secondhand pickup bought just for the trip, a pair of Nikes he cannot seem to keep dry (they're literally decomposing before his eyes), and the graphite stick and reel that the fly fisher reaches for before he has even fully awoken. The progression from the spring creeks of the East to the big sky country and its nearly mythic trout streams represents more than a search for better fishing. It marks for Barilla the transition from the Massachusetts of his childhood to the West that has become his home as an adult., AB00887.

(Description) Light rubbing to DJ with price intact, now in mylar cover. Author inscription to previous owner and author signature on FFEP. A very nice copy of this title! *** (Synopsis) Your favorite trout stream has a side you may never have seen. Most fishermen think that the average stream contains at best only moderate-sized trout. A few hours spent exploring the fascinatingly changed world of the night-time trout steam would make them see things differently. Regardless of fishing pressure, every trout stream has big trout in some of its stretches, and big trout feed mostly at night. There comes a time in every season when stream temperatures reach a critical point and conditions become just right to put trout on the prowl at night. When this magic moment arrives, the season's best fishing can be had - by the handful of specialists who know the excitement and pleasures of taking trout after dark. The slick tail of a large pool that seems empty of life during the heat of the day often boils with trophy-size trout at night. Night Fishing can help you take them., AB00386.

As New 4to Hardcover, in As New DJ
(Description) Limited Edition of 125 Signed/Numbered copies. While working on The Federation of Fly Fishers Fly Pattern Encyclopedia it quickly became clear to the Beattys that another book was necessary. Many of the flies in the Encyclopedia were worthy of more than just a fly plate and dressing, so they are included in this book with step-by-step photos and descriptions. They've also included many new flies, but each is included for the same reasons: the pattern is an innovative design, a simple but effective idea, or makes improvements on an existing fly. This book is so much more than a fly pattern book, it's full of many creative and innovative ideas for creating productive fishing flies., AB00012.

Bedeschi, Francisco: Fly Fishing the Best Rivers of Patagonia; 9872192707, New Book
2004 South End Publishing; 1st Ed, 1st Printing,
Near Fine Folio Hardcover, in Near Fine DJ
Also housed in cardstock slipcase. *** (Synopsis) With stunning photography, the author meticulously goes through most rivers in the Argentinean Patagonia, describing each in moderate detail and showing you a wealth of pictures from each destination. It covers traditional trout fishing for brownies and rainbows as well as fishing for the larger sea run steelhead and sea trout for which Patagonia is probably most famed. The text is written by different knowledgeable guides from each region or river and is printed in both Spanish and English. It is not a where-to guidebook as such, and does not list facilities, lodges, guides or similar information in detail for each river, but it does have an extensive list of contact information in the back. Considering the potential difficulty of getting this information through other channels and the distance from most of us to Argentina, this information is very valuable., AB00502.

Bell, Don A.: Bamboo Rod Making: Making Split Bamboo Bait Casting Rods from Finished Blanks; 1936702339, New Book
2012 The Whitefish Press; Limited Edition,
As New 8vo Hardcover, No Jacket, as issued
(Description) Limited to 100 Numbered copies. 7 x 5, small 8vo desktop sized. ***(Synopsis) In 1936, a rodmaker with thirty years of experience under his belt took out advertisements in the back of a number of sporting journals. His name was Don A. Bell, and he had just authored a book on rodmaking called Making Bamboo Rods. It was a book unique in the annals of rodmaking. Bell's book was not your ordinary rodmaker's work. Instead, it was an introductory work on one of the most overlooked of all the rodmaker's subjects: the split bamboo bait casting rod. In this work, Don A. Bell showed an appreciative Great Depression audience how to make a superb bait casting rod from a finished blank. With chapters on selecting bamboo, the parts of the two-piece casting rod, attaching the ferrules, winding, varnishing, rod staining, and even determining the weight and length of rods, it contains some charming descriptions of the rodmaker's art. With the text taken from the second updated edition, and with all of the original illustrations reproduced, this slender but elegant little volume may just teach you to appreciate the bamboo bait casting rod, and perhaps inspire you to make one yourself! It will certainly help you to better appreciate, understand, and identify the tell-tale sign of bamboo rods (both fly and bait casting) built by the techniques discussed in Bell's book. Long unavailable to even the most ardent collectors and book hounds, Bamboo Rod Making will now take its place on the shelf of students and historians of rodmaking. It will no longer be one of the forgotten rodmaking texts in history., AB01159.
