Many of the 10,000 miles of classified trout water in the state is easily accessible from major population centers. But this massive, complete work also includes smaller “secret” streams in remote regions. This third edition has been completely redesigned, as well as updated and expanded. Fourteen streams have been added. Features include: extensive insect hatch charts keyed to each stream; advice on matching the batch with the right flies; local fly patterns; color photographs and detailed maps; at-a-glance headings for each stream that tell you how to get there, what to bring, regulations, and highlights.

Product Description
Here’s a book that embraces yet transcends the fly-fisher’s world much as Bryson’s A Walk in the Woods transcends the hiker’s world. It is a journey to remote Labrador, to Alaska, Scotland, Ireland, the Florida Keys, to a Pepsi shack on the Catawba in the Carolinas, to a tackle shop no bigger than a rooster’s nest on 42nd Street, to Kettle Creek in Pennsylvania’s Forbidden Lands. It is suffused with the fragrance of Montecristos, the plumy sweetness of vintage Port, the sizzle of sirloins on a Coleman stove. Plus such unforgettable characters as Mr. Earp, a 100 percent West Virginian and 50 percent Cherokee; and Mr. Cotter, the quintessential NY cop turned fly-fishing gentleman.
Ah, to write like Ed! He tickles you with his humorous observations
and gets instructive without your even noticing.

“It is as big and depthless as the sky itself. You can see the curve of the earth on its surface as it stretches away for miles to the far shore.” So begins Old Glory, in which Jonathan Raban recounts his eye-opening descent of the Mississippi River in a 16-foot aluminum motorboat. As the English author explains, his obsession with the subject began with Huckleberry Finn, which he first read as a 7-year-old. And in fact, his opening sentences refer as much to the imaginary river as to the real one, which turns out to be less bucolic than Raban expected. Three miles upstream from Oquawka, Illinois, he’s nearly pulverized by a towboat. Later on, the intrepid voyager only just manages to escape a treacherous whirlpool near St. Louis, calming himself afterwards with a generous dose of tobacco and Valium.
True, when Raban isn’t cheating death he encounters some stunning terrain, which he describes in no-less-stunning prose. Yet Old Glory is much, much more than a travelogue. It is also a brilliant interrogation of the American psyche, in the tradition of De Tocqueville and Crevecoeur. And ultimately, Raban tells us a great deal about the very phenomenon of travel, with all its rigors and rewards, and its peculiar, metaphysical dislocations: “Riding the river, I had seen myself as a sincere traveler, thinking of my voyage not as a holiday but as a scale model of a life. It was different from life in one essential: I would survive it to give an account of its end.”
The author of Bad Land realizes a lifelong dream as he navigates the waters of the Mississippi River in a spartan sixteen-foot motorboat, producing yet another masterpiece of contemporary American travel writing. In the course of his voyage, Raban records the mercurial caprices of the river and the astonishingly varied lives of the people who live along its banks. Whether he is fishing for walleye or hunting coon, discussing theology in Prairie Du Chien or race relations in Memphis, he is an expert observer of the heartyland’s estrangement from America’s capitals ot power and culture, and its helpless nostalgia for its lost past. Witty, elegaic, and magnificently erudite, Old Glory is as filled with strong currents as the Mississippi itself.

A beautiful tribute to twenty rivers restored by the work of Trout Unlimited and its members.
We all love rivers and the trout that the best of them hold. For fifty years, the volunteers of Trout Unlimited have strived to restore, sustain, and preserve the nation’s trout and salmon waters. Weaving together human and natural histories, Ross tells the stories of twenty watersheds where Trout Unlimited has labored to save rivers damaged by human shortsightedness. From Michigan’s Au Sable to New York’s Delaware to rivers in California, Washington, and more, the stories of these rivers—both in peril and in recovery—will remind fishermen why they love the sound of running water, and why our natural resources need to be protected. 200 color photographs.
About the Author
John Ross fished much more often before he took up writing. He chairs the Virginia Council of Trout Unlimited, and won a National Outdoor Book Award in 1999. He lives in Upperville, Virginia.

NASF is commemorating the reversal of the decline of a wonderful species by the publication of this book which depicts, in pictures and words, over fifty of the finest Atlantic salmon rivers. –Orri Vigfússon, Founder and Chairman of NASF

The book depicts more than 50 of the finest Atlantic salmon rivers, each described by those familiar with it and committed to maintaining and preserving it. Here in one book are all the salmon rivers fly fishermen dream of fishing–the Alta, the Laerdal, the Spey, the Dee, the Moy, the Big Laxa, the Ponoi, the Kharlovka, and the great rivers of Canada. No other book has come close to capturing so many wonderful rivers, many of which are remote and exclusive and have never been seen in published photographs.

In this comprehensive guidebook for whitewater river runners, the authors (California Whitewater, North Fork Pr., 1994, 3d ed.), plan outings in Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Arizona, Texas, California, Oregon, and Washington. The description of each river includes information on discharge, flow, hazards, season, permits, managing agency addresses and phone numbers, commercial trip availability, side excursions, maps, put-in and take-out, and a mile-by-mile description of each trip with photos where appropriate. Combining useful and accurate information on whitewater in 11 Western states and an easy-to-read, logical format, this book is as much a reference book as a guidebook. Highly recommended.
