Book Description
Charles Lindsay's grandfather taught him to fly-fish when he was nine years old. Ever since, in pursuit of trout and solitude, he has immersed himself in the clear, rushing waters of the American West. Fly rod in hand, he participates in the ancient rituals between predator and prey. At times photographing beneath the surface of the water, Lindsay literally enters the world of the trout. In this close observance of the cosmos within the river, he explores the fundamental relationship of all life to water. The photographs in Upstream illuminate a primitive world of elemental beauty and fractured light--abstract and utterly in motion. At the dawn of the twenty-first century, with wilderness under siege and humanity increasingly removed from nature, Lindsay uses his camera to express the enduring vitality of the natural world. Thomas McGuane, avid fly-fisherman, author, and frequent contributor to "Sports Illustrated" and "Riverwatch," brilliantly explores these themes in his accompanying text.

Book Description
Virtually all of the West Country's fine fishing rivers rise on one of the three great moors of the region, Dartmoor, Exmoor and Bodmin and, with differing character, flow through some of Britain's most beautiful countryside. In so doing, they provide the best of fly fishing in the finest settings. Anne Voss Bark, this book's editor, owns the Arundell Arms Hotel in Lifton on the Devon-Cornwall borders, renowned for its fishing and having twenty miles of beats providing salmon, sea trout and brown trout sport on the Tamar and its tributaries. Under her expert guidance, contributors to this book, many famous in other fields but all true anglers, have written a text which is informative, instructional and evocative. memories in the West Country; Roy Buckingham, fishing instructor, river keeper, former fly casting champion and fisherman since the age of seven, imparts the secrets of successful sea trout fishing; Ted Hughes, author and Poet Laureate, lives by the River Taw and from his experiences and those he has collected from others, reveals much about fishing methods on the Taw and Torridge; the late Dermot Wilson, probably the most respected dry fly fisherman in England of his day, writes of the charms of the wild moor land-fed streams and Robin Lemon describes the successful ways of fishing West Country lakes and reservoirs. These are but a few of the book's distinguished contributors who, collectively, have produced a marvellously readable text, complemented by quality photographs of the locations. Here, then, is a book which will appeal to fisherman of all levels of skill and all ages and, by hearing the views of experts, there is much to be gained from reading it.

Book Description
From beer labels to literary classics like A River Runs Through It, trout fishing is a beloved feature of the iconography of the American West. But as Jen Brown demonstrates in Trout Culture: How Fly Fishing Forever Changed the Rocky Mountain West, the popular conception of Rocky Mountain trout fishing as a quintessential experience of communion with nature belies the sport’s long history of environmental manipulation, engineering, and, ultimately, transformation. A fly-fishing enthusiast herself, Brown places the rise of recreational trout fishing in a local and global context. Globally, she shows how the European sport of fly-fishing came to be a defining, tourist-attracting feature of the expanding 19th-century American West. Locally, she traces the way that the burgeoning fly-fishing tourist industry shaped the environmental, economic, and social development of the Western United States: introducing and stocking favored fish species, eradicating the less favored native “trash fish,” changing the courses of waterways, and leading to conflicts with Native Americans’ fishing and territorial rights. Through this analysis, Brown demonstrates that the majestic trout streams often considered a timeless feature of the American West are in fact the product of countless human interventions adding up to a profound manipulation of the Rocky Mountain environment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKMwEkKj9jg

Book Description
Longtime fly fisherman Quinn Grover had contemplated the “why” of his fishing identity before more recently becoming focused on the “how” of it. He realized he was a dedicated fly fisherman in large part because public lands and public waterways in the West made it possible. In Wilderness of Hope Grover recounts his fly-fishing experiences with a strong evocation of place, connecting those experiences to the ongoing national debate over public lands. Because so much of America’s public lands are in the Intermountain West, this is where arguments about the use and limits of those lands rage the loudest. And those loudest in the debate often become caricatures: rural ranchers who hate the government; West Coast elites who don’t know the West outside Vail, Colorado; and energy and mining companies who extract from once-protected areas. These caricatures obscure the complexity of those who use public lands and what those lands mean to a wider population. Although for Grover fishing is often an “escape” back to wildness, it is also a way to find a home in nature and recalibrate his interactions with other parts of his life as a father, son, husband, and citizen. Grover sees fly fishing on public waterways as a vehicle for interacting with nature that allows humans to inhabit nature rather than destroy or “preserve” it by keeping it entirely separate from human contact. These essays reflect on personal fishing experiences with a strong evocation of place and an attempt to understand humans’ relationship with water and public land in the American West.
