Fifty Places to Fly Fish Before You Die: Chris Santella

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
Santella, a freelance writer for the New York Times, the New Yorker and Fly Rod & Reel magazine, offers 50 short takes on the ultimate fly-fishing destinations in this beautifully photographed and nicely packaged volume. Each locale comes recommended by an avid fisher; for example, the founder of Frontiers Travel, Mike Fitzgerald, and his son, also named Mike Fitzgerald, suggest fishing for Atlantic salmon at Laxa I Adaldal in Iceland. Fly-fishing instructor Cathy Beck leads Santella to the thrill of catching snook off Boca Paila in the Yucatan. And Sweetwater Travel founder Jeff Vermillion describes the excitement of fishing on the Ponoi River in Mongolia for taimen (”the world’s largest almonid, capable of reaching 70-plus inches in length and more than 100 pounds”). In Europe, Simon Gawesworth tells Santella about the trick to fishing brown trout on the River Test in Stockbridge, England, where wading is forbidden. The book also highlights more traditional (though no less exciting) trout fishing destinations, such as the Bighorn River in Montana and the Green River in Utah. With its elegant descriptions, gorgeous photos and practical information on accommodations and equipment, this book is a dream travel guide for avid fly-fishers.

Trout Eyes: True Tales of Adventure, Travel, and Fly-Fishing: William G. Tapply

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist
This collection of 29 essays by the author of the Brady Coyne mystery series arrives just in time for the flurry of spring and early summer trout and bass fishing. In his eleventh fishing book, Tapply pursues trout throughout the U.S., Canada, and Patagonia. He stalks bass and striped bass across New England and travels to Guyana and Belize for permit, tarpon, and bonefish. Many of these essays revisit favorite topics from earlier work—teamwork, friendships, the joys of small trout streams and simple bass fishing—but they never feel repetitive. As always, Tapply shines in capturing a fishing locale’s ambience and in describing arcane fishing techniques clearly and simply, as he does here in reflecting on bass bug fishing and on short fly rods. He also writes affectionately and wistfully about his father, devoted angler H. G. Tapply, who died in 2002. Among fishing and nature writers, Tapply stands out for his assured prose, his good nature, and always solid angling advice. Rowen, John
