In absence of the information about those tyers I decided to proceed with what I had and over the next few years, if I could get the information on the others, I would consider releasing a second book. Never did I realize that it would take me six years to gather that information. During the six years I had the pleasure of personally meeting a number of the tyers. Sadly some of them are no longer with us. During the many meetings I had with the fly tyers, their families and friends I will never forget their kindness and generosity. -

{PDF EPUB} Crow Fair Stories by Thomas Mcguane "Crow Fair": Thomas Mcguane's New Short Story Collection Examines the Dark Side of the Human Comedy
Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Crow Fair Stories by Thomas McGuane "Crow Fair": Thomas McGuane's new short story collection examines the dark side of the human comedy. The antic storytelling of a modest master finds mischievous fun in the romance and family life of the American West. Thomas McGuane lives on a Montana ranch. He is a fly fisherman and has written a book, "The Longest Silence," about same. He is a member of the Hall of Fame of the National Cutting Horse Association in Texas. (For those readers lacking both hat and cattle: Cutting is a rodeo event wherein riders are judged on their prowess at separating one animal from a herd.) He counts among his wives (not concurrent) the actress Margot Kidder and Jimmy Buffett’s sister Laurie. In the 1970s, when McGuane partied with the likes of Buffett, Peter Fonda, and Sam Peckinpah, he was nicknamed Captain Berserko. Today, at 75, he looks like a cross between the World’s Greatest Grandpa and the Marlboro Man. To McGuane’s admirers, all of this may be about as interesting or as germane to literary exegesis as Hemingway’s fondness for bullfights and rum. But despite McGuane’s induction into the American Academy of Arts and Letters, he is not quite a household name. For readers new to his work, his back-story is liable either to raise inappropriate expectations or, worse, to be just plain off-putting. Those hoping that Crow Fair , McGuane’s new short story collection, contains life-on-the-range tales in the spirit of Louis L’Amour or Larry McMurtry will be disappointed. -

Sw 439 Making Artificial Lures
WILDLIFE SW 439 August 2001 PROJECT Making Artificial Lures INTRODUCTION If you like to fish, chances are that you use worms, minnows, grasshoppers, frogs and other natural bait. Almost any tackle store you visit will have both natural or “live bait” and artificial lures which are made to imitate the real thing. Artificial lures were used by many early civilizations and have been around literally thousands of years. Early lures were made of a variety of materials. For example, American Indians and Eskimos made lures out of the bones of certain birds and animals which resembled minnows. Books were written as early as the 15th Century describing the art of fly fishing and fly tying. Even then, feathers, hair and thread helped early anglers to fool trout, salmon and bass. Today, there are many types of artificial lures from which to choose — such as plastic worms, balsa wood minnows, metal spinners, spoons, lead jigs, swimming plugs, surface plugs and even battery-pow- ered frogs. Such lures are used with spinning spin/ casting and casting equipment (rod and reel) by fish- ermen in both fresh and salt water. Some lures are inexpensive, but others may cost more than your weekly allowance. Fly fishermen also have a very large number of insect, frog and minnow imitations from which to select, many of which are made from animal hairs, feathers, yarn, cork and thread. Flies must be very lightweight, because it is the fly line (unlike spin and plug fishing) which carries the lure through the air. There are, in fact, several thousand recognized trout and salmon patterns, and hundreds of bass patterns. -
Why Fly Fishing? Fly Fishing Is One of the Few Styles of Fishing Where You Can Have a Good Time Without Ever Catching a Fish. It
Why Fly Fishing? Fly fishing is one of the few styles of fishing where you can have a good time without ever catching a fish. It’s a type of fishing where casting can be as much fun as catching. Catching fish on the fly isn’t about quantity. It’s about the quality of the experience. The attention to detail and technique make fly fishing one of the most artistic forms of angling. Watching someone who has mastered the fly rod is like seeing poetry in motion. Flies can be tied that are so realistic you can’t tell the difference between what’s fake and what’s real, and in many instances neither can the fish. Perhaps more than any other method, fly fishing requires a certain degree of skill in order to be successful, and developing that skill is where the true satisfaction lies. Learning to cast with precision is considerably more complicated than using conventional spinning or bait casting equipment. Imparting action to the lure is also more involved. And finally, hooking and playing a fish is unlike using any other type of tackle. The appeal of fly fishing doesn’t stop there. Tying your own flies either on or off the water can be an extremely rewarding experience. Imagine identifying the prey that a fish is feeding on, then having the ability to create something using artificial material that looks identical. Very few experiences in angling measure up to catching a fish on something you make yourself. In specific situations, fly fishing can be the most effective way to present an artificial. -
