Book excerpt: As an Oregon writer, I have had the distinct honor to live, work, and play in the Pacific Northwest. Over the last forty years, it has seemed as if the world was at my doorstep, and what a marvelous world it has been to explore! I have fished it all, and hope to live to fish it all again. Come along and fish the Willamette, Clackamas, Eagle Creek, the Wilson River and more! Fish for steelhead and salmon. Fly fish for German brown trout. Fish alongside Betsi, and me, on wonderful lakes in the Cascade Range. Watch eagles and ospreys. Tie on an artificial fly or flip a spinner. It's all here. Have fun.

Book excerpt: “Beautiful. ... A lyrical companion to his father’s classic, A River Runs through It, chronicling their family’s history and bond with Montana’s Blackfoot River.” —Washington Post A "poetic" and "captivating" (Publishers Weekly) memoir about the power of place to shape generations, Home Waters is John N. Maclean's remarkable chronicle of his family's century-long love affair with Montana's majestic Blackfoot River, the setting for his father's classic novella, A River Runs through It. Maclean returns annually to the simple family cabin that his grandfather built by hand, still in search of the trout of a lifetime. When he hooks it at last, decades of longing promise to be fulfilled, inspiring John, reporter and author, to finally write the story he was born to tell. A book that will resonate with everyone who feels deeply rooted to a landscape, Home Waters is a portrait of a family who claimed a river, from one generation to the next, of how this family came of age in the 20th century and later as they scattered across the country, faced tragedy and success, yet were always drawn back to the waters that bound them together. Here are the true stories behind the beloved characters fictionalized in A River Runs through It, including the Reverend Maclean, the patriarch who introduced the family to fishing; Norman, who balanced a life divided between literature and the tug of the rugged West; and tragic yet luminous Paul (played by Brad Pitt in Robert Redford’s film adaptation), whose mysterious death has haunted the family and led John to investigate his uncle’s murder and reveal new details in these pages. A universal story about nature, family, and the art of fly fishing, Maclean’s memoir beautifully captures the inextricable ways our personal histories are linked to the places we come from—our home waters. Featuring twelve wood engravings by Wesley W. Bates and a map of the Blackfoot River region.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New England's streams, and the insects and fish that inhabit them, have their own unique qualities. Their flowing waters support an amazing diversity of insect species from all of the major orders -- in fact, at last count, Maine, alone, has 162 species of mayflies, the most of any state. Few, if any, books deal with the insects and life stages specific to New England, until now.Hatch Guide to New England Streams, by professional photographer and amateur entomology enthusiast Thomas Ames, explores the insects of New England. Ames covers: reading water; presentations for New England streams; tackle; night fishing; and more. The bulk of this book, however, deals with the insects and the best flies to imitate them. Similar in style to Jim Schollmeyer's successful Hatch Guide series, Ames discusses the natural and its behaviors on the left-hand page and the three best flies to imitate it on the right, including proper size and effective techniques. Tom's color photography of the naturals and their imitations is superb, making this book as beautiful as it is useful. A must for all New England fly-fishers!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Jack Ohman takes a sport that is already intrinsically hilarious and makes it even funnier.” —Ted Leeson Pulitzer Prize–winning cartoonist (and fanatical fly fisher) Jack Ohman takes a light-hearted look at one of America’s favorite pastimes. With over 50 of his black and white cartoons—newly colorized—Ohman sets his hooks into topics such as: Gear. “Getting into cold waders in the morning is like trying to forcibly dress a seal in a spandex leotard.” The Compleat Angler, Revised. “The Troute knew not my Brande Names and Boron Rod and power Butt and engraved reele, and scarce I could place blame on him.” Selecting the Proper Fly. “While we dodder about on the hard ground, muttering nonsense about line weights and drag ratios, trout are swimming contentedly, just waiting to make us look even dumber than we already are. Trout fishermen are always paranoid about secret trout plots." With topics ranging from the differences between Western and Eastern anglers and selecting the proper fly to fly fishing history, this reprint of a modern fly fishing classic, first published in 1988, will continue to entertain a new generation of anglers bitten by the fly fishing bug.
