Author: Gary A. BorgerPublisher:
ISBN: 9780985428006
Category : Fly fishing
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
"As successful fly fishers, we need to play the role of the predator, paying close attention to clothing, approach angle, walking and wading, the tactics of casting and line handling, the skills of setting the hook and fighting the fish, and more. For the fly fisher, knowledge translates to greater success. In this book you will find a broad-spectrum analysis of the various aspects of "predatory" angling. Understanding how the fish perceives its environment--and ours--as well as how we view the fish's home, forms the basis for further detailed discussions of approach, fly choice, casting and more. You'll also find an exploration of key predatory skills such as setting the hook and fighting and landing fish. And, of course, there are stories that bring personalized illumination to the process of fishing like a predator."--BookMasters website.

Book Description
Game Changer flies have completely revolutionized how fly anglers approach pressured and wary fish around the world. Tied on a series of interconnecting spines, these flies can be drawn through the water with a serpentine swimming action or made to glide and jacknife in the water with hard strips--movements that predatory fish find irresistible. In this book, from one of the most creative and visionary minds in fly tying and fly fishing, author Blane Chocklett shares his tips and techniques for getting maximum movement out of these flies, both at the vise and on the water. In addition to covering popular patterns such as the Finesse Changer and Feather Game Changer, Chocklett traces the evolution of his search for the ultimate pattern, and takes readers along his journey of discovery, by beginning with his Gummy Minnow and ending the book with perhaps the most effective fly ever designed for apex predators, the Hybrid Changer. - Step-by-step tying instructions for 20 flies - Chapter covering hooks, shanks, brushes, and other critical materials - Fishing techniques, including tips on retrieves and casting large flies - Close-ups of Chocklett's favorite patterns - Detailed information on building brushes

Ecological Sustainability of Fish Resources of Inland Waters of the Western Balkans
Author: Vladica SimićPublisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3031369262
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 714
Book Description
This book provides a detailed evaluation of the hydro-ecological characteristics of the Western Balkans, an area characterized by still preserved inland waters and fish resources important for the European continent, as well as the biodiversity of inland waters important for the planet Earth. Freshwater ecosystems cover only 1% of the Earth's surface; however, they are a habitat for about 40% of fish species. At the same time, inland fisheries make less than 12% of the world's global fish catch, with 43% coming from low-income and food-deficient countries (Africa, South America, Southeast Asia). In Europe, the Western Balkans have significant fishing waters and fish resources, including the Middle Danube drainage (Sava, Drina, Velika Morava river systems), large ancient lakes (Skadar/Shkodra, Ohrid, Prespa, Dojran), and the Adriatic basin characterized by endemic and commercially important species. However, in contrast to the high fishing potential in a significant part of the Western Balkans, diverse and specific political, economic, and social factors largely had a negative impact on the state of fish resources. This volume is multidisciplinary and provides a sound knowledge base for scientific and practical fisheries. In addition, it may be a valuable guide for managers and conservationists worldwide to adapt methods and procedures for the ecological sustainability of fish resources under specific local, natural, and socio-economic conditions. Finally, the content is a good reference for natural sciences and agriculture students studying fish, fish resources, and fisheries sciences. It would improve their knowledge and perspectives on the challenges of sustainable use and conservation of inland water resources.
