"The Compleat McClane comprises four highly selective sections - all appearing for the first time in book form. "Here's How" covers American angling methods in depth. Whether a fly caster or a spin fisherman, you can't help but improve your skills and chances for success with these lessons from the master. "From Panfish to Piranhas," the second section, covers techniques and tactics for catching trout, bass, and salmon, amongst others. Then there's "The Gustatory Angler," where every fishing success has a second happy ending: out of the pan and onto the table. McClane, an international authority on fish cookery, includes many of his mouth-watering recipes. Finally, in "Ripples and Reflections," McClane's skills as a writer shine through in these vivid recollections of favorite American rivers and famous streamside companions such as the late Arnold Gingrich and Charles Ritz." "In The Compleat McClane one of the best angling writers of all time takes beginners and the already wise to streams, lakes, and seashores to bring us all a world of fishing information and enjoyment. From bass to bonefish, from sunfish to salmon, Al McClane writes from a great store of knowledge and with a deep love for the sport." (Lee Wulff).

From Alaska to the Antipodes, McClane has fished every corner of the globe, and here is the book that takes you with him to those moments of adventure and joy that lie at the heart of angling."

Hard cover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. Previous owner name. A salmon is a large and energetic fish inhabiting untamed places. A fly rod is a wispy featherweight stick of graphite or bamboo. Connect the first thing to the second by a length of line with a #4 White Wulff, and the comprehension of wilderness is immediate. And nobody has captured that magical experience and understands the process better than Lee Wulff--long the acknowledged dean of American fly-fishing in general and salmon fishing in particular. He was an enthusiastic practitioner and a generous teacher. This book--his last--gathers sixty years of experience and wisdom on fly-fishing for salmon. Here are thirty of Lee Wulff's finest essays on salmon: narrative accounts of trips to the most tantalizing waters in North America and beyond; ruminations on technique, equipment, and fly selection; spirited appreciations of the natural world (he was an environmentalist long before that word became popularized); advice to beginners and old hands on casting and reading a river. Wulff was the skilled tactician with an uncanny ability to get salmon to rise to his fly patterns, and he candidly explains his methods in these pages. Lee Wulff (1905 ? 1991) was an artist, pilot, fly fisherman, author, filmmaker, outfitter and conservationist who made significant contributions to recreational fishing, especially fly fishing and the conservation of Atlantic Salmon. The name Lee Wulff holds a position of particular honor in all of American sport fishing. Catch and Release, a standard fishing practice today, was pioneered by Wulff. Where to put your flies and gear??in the fishing vest that Wulff designed and sewed himself in 1931. While Lee Wulff may be best known for fly fishing, he captured fish by all means possible. From native brook trout to enormous bluefin tuna, he successfully fished for nearly everything with fins.

"The Compleat Schwiebert is a journey of discovery along America's premier trout streams in twenty-eight tales of unparalleled adventure and learning. This major new collection is a superlative compendium of trout lore from the Catskills to the Cascades, in the U.S. and abroad, from a man whose career has revolutionized American trout fishing. The three carefully selected sections of this treasury are virtually books unto themselves. 'Great Waters' shares a lifetime of experience and exploration on our most famous trout haunts, bringing new tactics to legendary brooks, streams, and rivers that will improve your angling abilities no matter where you go. 'A Hatch to Match' offers much new information on imitating insects upon which trout feed, often the key to catching difficult and highly selective fish. Schwiebert pioneered this most valuable concept in trout fishing, and more than forty years of his research are reflected in these pages. 'Edges and Eddies' mirrors the quiet spots in a river's currents, and, in this book, comprises a contemplative section where Schwiebert's incomparable literary style shines as bright as the riffles he fishes. Here you'll find the lure as well as the lore of trout fishing brought to life by a master of evocative detail. Every section of this book has been carefully chosen and annotated by Schwiebert's long-time editor and friend, John Merwin, himself a nationally recognized angling authority." .
