A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Paul Schullery learned to fly fish more than 50 years ago while a ranger-naturalist in Yellowstone Park. In 1977 he became the first executive director of The American Museum of Fly Fishing and editor of The American Fly Fisher. Later, back in Yellowstone, he was founding editor of Yellowstone Science, the park's research journal. A life member of Fly Fishers International and Trout Unlimited, Paul is the author of nine fly-fishing books, including American Fly Fishing: A History, The Fishing Life, and The Rise, as well as many other books on nature and conservation. A recipient of the Roderick Haig-Brown Award, Paul was inducted into the Fly Fishing Hall of Fame in 2014. He lives in southern Vermont and is married to the artist Marsha Karle, with whom he has collaborated as author and artist on several books.

Steve Raymond, a native of Bellingham, Washington, had a 30-year career as a reporter, editor, and manager at the Seattle Times. He also edited two magazines, The Flyfisher and Fly Fishing in Salt Waters, and reviewed fishing books for several publications. A charter and honorary life member of the Federation of Fly Fishers (now called Fly Fishers International), he is author of a dozen fly-fishing books, including two award-winning titles, The Year of the Angler and The Year of the Trout. He received the prestigious Roderick Haig-Brown Award for significant contributions to angling literature, and his work has appeared in nine anthologies and at least 24 magazines. He was inducted into the Fly Fishing Hall of Fame in October 2022. Raymond and his wife, Joan, reside on an old farm on Whidbey Island in northern Puget Sound.
