Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With humor and compassion, author J. H. Hall chronicles the joys and tribulations of Maine fly fishermen, their loved ones, and their adversaries. Hall's characters share a passion for fly-fishing-their lifeline-and an indifference to most of society's other conventions. Whether building an indoor trout stream, robbing a bank, or waging mischief against a market-savvy, modernist guide, these characters gallantly struggle to preserve a way of life and a part of Maine that is rapidly disappearing. Praise for previously published works by J. H. Hall: Paradise: Stories of a Changing Chesapeake: 'Hall's portrayal glows like a watercolor. He mobilizes his language in quick, sure strokes: subdued, taut, winsome by turns." -Ramon de Rosas, Maine In Print 'Michael Crichton is not the only doctor-turned-writer to come down the pike in the past few years.In fact, I would.say he's not even the best. The author I've just discovered [J. H. Hall] is considerably better." -Cheryl Nowak, Eastern Shore News Selling Fish: Stories from a Fishing Life: '.Jim Hall has always been dead serious about fishing. Those of you who feel the same way will love and understand this book" -John Cole, author of Striper and In Maine

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One man celebrates and laments his family’s connection to a disappearing paradise of natural wildlife and beauty on the shores of Chesapeake Bay. Between the Indian and Dividing Creeks, near the mouth of the Rappahannock River in Virginia’s Chesapeake Bay, sits a parcel of land called Bluff Point. Like most bay-front villages, the bountiful resources and majestic landscape of this area that once sustained watermen and sportsmen alike have been depleted as over-harvesting, poaching, pollution and continued development have taken their toll, threatening the very legacy of its people. J. H. Hall’s family first settled on this land shortly after the Civil War, where they maintained a tradition of farming, fishing and crabbing throughout the twentieth century. Hall’s words flow as splendidly as the tides in this collection of personal reminisces and local and natural history honoring the lives of the watermen before him and the uncertainty surrounding those today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This completely new flyfishing guide to New England is the best flyfishing guide ever on this fishery-rich and historic area. Author and flyfishing guide Lou Zambello provides all the information to improve your catch rate in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and Masschusetts. Full-color maps accompany the fisheries, complete with GPS coordinates, access points, public land, access roads, boat ramps (including small hand launches), parking areas, named holes and pools and more. Many flyfishers flock to the same well-known waters that are written about again and again and face crowded conditions. Yet there are hundreds of productive waters that are ignored. Zambello, who has spent over 30 years fishing in New England, teamed with former Maine State Fisheries Director John Boland and other experts to cover many of these great uncrowded waters in the Flyfisher's Guide to New England. Lou spent the last several years criss-crossing New England researching this book, a review of many hundreds of both popular and unknown, moving and stillwaters in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Massachusetts. Following Wilderness Adventures Press' tradition of creating the best flyfishing guide books, the new full-color Flyfisher's Guide to New England will help you get your own piece of fishing heaven. Also check out Zambello's first book, Flyfishing Northern New England's Seasons.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four essential questions: Why does one fish? How should one properly fish? What relations are created in fishing? And what effects does fishing have on the future? Haunted by Waters is a self-examination by the author as he constructs his own narrative and tries to answer these questions for himself. But it is also a thorough examination of the answers he uncovers in the course of reading what's been written on the subject. As his own story unfolds, Mark Browning analyzes angling literature from the Bible to Norman Maclean, always bringing his inquiry back to the same source: the enigma of this sport. Haunted by Waters is an exploration of the apparent compulsion of those who fish not only to read about the sport, but to write about it as well. Mark Browning's personal account as a fly fisherman and his perspective as a critic make him uniquely qualified to navigate these waters.

Book excerpt: "The literature of fly fishing offers great tales of adventure as well as stories of renewal and discovery. Yet very little of it has been written by women--until now. A Different Angle presents a new look at the growing popularity of fly fishing among women through the writing of contemporary women anglers, from Pulitzer prize-winning author E. Annie Proulx to fly casting champion Joan Salvato Wulff. Whether exploring the sensual and spiritual pleasures of casting a line or the realities of being female in a predominately male sport, the women in this collection write with humor and eloquence about the sport they love. By turns lyrical, witty, and impassioned, these stories add a new dimension to the sport, literature, and art of fly fishing"--Book cover.
