For those who don’t know, John Wilson is one of Britain’s most popular, most successful and most respected anglers. As the presenter of the TV programme Go Fishing, he has become known beyond the relatively small world of the fisherman, and he is now the UK’s leading popular authority on coarse, game and sea angling. Indeed, a cottage industry has grown up around the man, with angling maps, rods, books, video and branded goods galore bearing the hallmark of this unlikely Beckham of the riverbanks. This latest volume is another, but welcome, addition to that industry, highlighting, as it does, a number of the more spectacular fishing locations where Wilson has cast his bait and the largest, weirdest and most unusual species he has caught. The book includes some sumptuous shots of those fishing paradises, including Iguacu Falls in Brazil and Murchison Falls in Uganda, as well as ‘action’ shots of nailing sharks and even fur seals - who take bait from the angler’s hand, which seems to rather spoil the sport. For the real enthusiast, this can even be used as a travel and instruction book as Wilson includes details of tackle, techniques and baits used, the best times of year and climate conditions, and what to watch out for. There is also a map of each of the 12 areas visited. (Kirkus UK)

“I loved this book.”
–Catherine Dook, “Boat Journal”
“There is no question of the experience and expertise of the nine fly fishermen who authored Island Fly Fisherman.”
–Pat King, “North Island Gazette”
Combine moderate year-round temperatures with everything from small creeks, rivers and lakes to vast expanses of saltwater beaches and protected inshore waters, and it’s easy to understand why Vancouver Island is considered an angler’s paradise.
“Island Fly Fisherman” is a compact guide written by nine expert anglers. Compiled and edited by Robert H. Jones and Larry E. Stefanyk, it will provide everyone interested in fly fishing with solid information on where and when to go, and which tackle, tactics and fly patterns will produce the best results.
The locations and topics covered include smallmouth bass lakes on southern Vancouver Island and Saltspring Island, dredging for bottom fish, beach-fishing strategies and flies for cutthroat trout plus pink and coho salmon, fishing the lakes and streams for rainbow, cutthroat and brown trout, a “go to” fly that always works as a searching pattern, open-ocean tactics and fly patterns that will work anywhere off the coast of Vancouver Island, and how to tie 46 proven fly patterns.
Whether you’re a stillwater fly fisher who concentrates on lakes, a river specialist who insists that trout be caught only from moving water, a winter-run steelhead fanatic who braves icy water or a diehard advocate of summer-run steelhead, a “beach bum” or an open-water saltwater fly flinger, the expert advice offered in this book will make it well worth reading. The nine contributors have over 400 combined years of fly fishing experience. That they were willing to share this wealth of knowledge with others who are interested in this interesting, challenging, and ever-growing pastime, makes “Island Fly Fisherman” an excellent addition to any fly fisher’slibrary.

“Better fisherman do not hope for success or rely on luck in order to catch fish. They put their hopes in facts, skills, knowledge, and experience. The more of these qualities we have, the more fish we catch and the more consistent we become. Likewise, the more we know and the more we experience with Jesus, the better we will be at becoming the kind of person we want to be and God wants us to be.” Anyone who loves the peacefulness, the patience, and the skill involved in fishing would probably agree that many of the characteristics that can make a great fisherman also make a person great.
Very similar to the golf-themed Go for the Green, this fishing-themed devotional, Catch of the Day, features a Daily Scripture, a Daily Fishing Tip: “Pork trailers on jigs and spinnerbaits work better than soft plastics in cold water,” and a brief devotional thought that applies insights from the art of fishing to daily spiritual growth.
