Free (Kindle) The Rise: Streamside Observations on Trout and Fishing [Nature Guide]

ATDrake · 04-09-2012, 05:18 AM

The Rise: Streamside Observations on Trout, Flies, and Fly Fishing by Paul Schullery and Marsha Karle is a nature guide with explanatory scientific background and handy sporting tips to exactly what it says in the title, free courtesy of publisher Stackpole Books.

Free @ Amazon (not available to Canadians). Unlikely to show up elsewhere as previous Stackpole freebies have been Amazon-only.

Description
Distills five centuries' worth of angling lore and wisdom about trout feeding behavior

Photographic sequence shows in detail how trout take a fly

Examination of flies includes the importance of wings and what they are made of, hooks, soft-hackled flies, and skipping, dapping, and dry-fly techniques

Even after centuries of observation, anglers are still trying to solve the mysteries of that magical instant when a trout takes a fly. The Rise, based on recent scientific research into trout feeding behavior and the author's extraordinary photographic studies, provides many new clues.

With unprecedented photographic clarity, Schullery reveals the subtleties of the trout's feeding behavior, analyzes the riseforms that puzzle us, and offers startling and reassuring insights into the lessons of rejection. Schullery challenges modern "common knowledge"; reconsiders neglected flies, ideas, and tactics; and faces some of fly fishing's toughest questions with wit, patience, and the happy conviction that the questions are more important than the answers anyway.

if it were a paper book I had I'd send it to you. My dad doesn't fly fish and I'm unlikely to ever learn what with only one [and part of one] hand. That being said I was a great little fisher girl back in the day, first kid to clean a fish and not at all squeamish. I can also cook them after. . . . man that makes me miss my dad. And cinimon [which i'm misspelling] bears which we always got to go fishing. I'm allergic to those bears now, which is really unfair.

Anyway . . .
