Why Fly Fishing is a 31-minute DVD created to explain and share the grace of this age-old sport. As a sport, fly fishing has a rich history with many of its own icons. Some people are not aware that the passion for fly fishing among its participants easily equals or surpasses even the most fanatical "team sport" (i.e. football, baseball, basketball). Fly fishing is an individual event with a level playing field that welcomes all comers. Everyone enters as a beginner, there are no age limits and progress is measured by self-satisfaction. This is a DVD every dedicated fly fisher should own, as well as beginners and even people who might be curious about why practitioners are so dedicated. Not only does it make fly fishers feel good about what they love, but, for the first time, they have a beautiful film that explains to non-fly fishing friends and family why the sport is so seductive. It shows, as words alone never could, why fly fishers become "low-level fanatics" (John Gierach's words) and behave the way they do. All profits from Why Fly Fishing DVD sales go directly towards the American Museum of Fly Fishing to help further the understanding of and appreciation for the history and traditions of the sport of fly fishing by preserving, displaying, studying and interpreting the artifacts, art and literature of the sport. "By exploring the many facets of the sport -- the athletic, the intellectual, the scientific and the artistic -- this film shows the deep satisfaction and fun anglers experience. All this is seen through the eyes of some of fly fishing's foremost practitioners -- Joan Wulff, Nick Lyons, James Prosek, Flip Pallot, John Gierach, the Revel brothers, Keith Fulsher and Diana Rudolph. This film is also a great way to introduce the sport to others whom fly fishers hope will now understand this obsession and who then might become interested and participants themselves. It also helps everyone truly appreciate why the love for it is so strong." --Gardner Grant, Trustee of the American Museum of Fly Fishing

By Tom Rosenbauer - The definitive and comprehensive guide book to fishing small trout streams throughout North America. Tired of the famous and crowded rivers, today's anglers have a greater desire to get close to nature while staying closer to home. The Orvis Guide to Small Stream Fly Fishing provides all the information for finding and fishing unspoiled gems found everywhere from wilderness areas to suburban backyards. These often overlooked streams are abundant throughout the United States, and range from the Appalachians from Maine to Georgia to northern Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota, the Black Hills of South Dakota, the entire Rocky Mountain region from Montana to northern Arizona, and the Cascade and Sierra Nevada ranges. As more fishing is done close to home, small trout streams, or third-order streams as described by hydrologists, are thirty times as abundant as the bigger, more famous trout streams, and most of them are on public land, making them more accessible. This beautifully illustrated and definitive resource explains the small-stream environment, how to find these streams, how small-stream trout behave, how to read the water, special casts, fly selection, and how to present the fly in all types of small streams. With this fly fishing guide book, anglers can find and catch wild trout far off the beaten path. Harcover 8 1/2" x 11.

The handle is a beautifully finished dark wood that is in mint condition. $95.00 A Summary of Miniature Firearms/Guns: Miniature arms/guns are defined in a variety of ways, but in the most pragmatic terms they are reduced versions of full-sized arms, replicated in every detail. Miniature arms should not be confused with the respected craft of the military miniaturist, who paints miniature figures that have been case in metal or plastic, and are collected individually or to create dioramas. While miniature arms are also scale models, they do not differ in function, design, or components from the full-sized arms they replicate.

Covers gear and tackle, fly selection, casting, setting the hook, playing and releasing the fish, float fishing Insight into a wealth of fishing experience from one of the most well-known fly fishers in the sport today Illustrations by Dave Hall and photos by John Gierach Through his accounts on the water, author A. K. Best shares his lifetime of fly-fishing experience. "I have always thought that going fly fishing simply meant that you drove to the stream, strung up your rod, tied on a fly, looked for a rising trout, and then cast to it until you caught it. It does work out that way sometimes and it's a lot of fun. But other times, it gets a little more complicated and that's even more fun." It's these complications that A. K. deals with, untangles, and explains in his first book devoted to fishing.

The Fly Fishing Anthology features glorious artwork and more than twenty stories and essays celebrating, reminiscing, and bemoaning the high sport of fly fishing. This first-of-its-kind book is divided into six themed chapters. The first chapter features stories of initiation—none painless and all memorable. Chapter two explores the glorious vistas of fly fishing country. In the third chapter, our writers go nuts for trout, that highest echelon of game fish. Chapter four examines the seductive art of fly-tying. The fifth chapter is devoted to reminiscences, and the final chapter defends the great sport of fly fishing. More than half of the pieces take jabs—some gentle, some sharp—at the sport of fly fishing and the men and women who aim to master it. Highlights include John Gierach’s Keillor-esque vision of a sleepy Colorado trout fishing town jolted awake by the age of neoprene waders and Latin terminology, Charles Elliott fly fishing for the elusive bone-fish at the elbow of baseball great Ted Williams, and newcomer George Tichenor self-deprecating with cheerful aplomb as he practices casting a fly on the revered Willowemoc. The writing represents the best that fly fishing literature has to offer. In these pages, dry fly master George LaBranche argues with passionate conviction that dry fly fishing is the highest art of angling. Zane Grey waxes poetic on the wild, lonely beauty of his beloved West, and sports-writing genius Red Smith wrests a hilarious, epic tale out of an amateur fly tier’s first Silver Tip pattern. Of course, the fly fishing legends are present in these pages, including Cornelia "Fly Rod" Crosby, G. E. M. Skues, and Joan Salvato Wulff.

Fly Fishing Always describes the grace and beauty of fly fishing and introduces Hal, a local legendary fly fisher and a fascinating trip with Hal to fish for Atlantic Salmon. A wealth of fly fishing adventures is presented. These exploits include fly fishing for popular, well known species, trout, salmon, steelhead, bass, tarpon and bonefish. Thrilling fly fishing trips for peacock bass, piranhas and for other rare, little known exotic jungle fish in the Amazon and other far away places are also recalled. It is admitted that fly fishing even for other less appreciated species, such as bluegills and carp, can be challenging, exciting and rewarding. Advice is given on techniques to attempt when trout and other species are proving to be elusive and difficult to entice. Fly Fishing Always emphasizes the importance and many rewards of friendship with fellow anglers, even strangers that one meets on a remote stream. To totally experience the elegance of fly fishing, it is emphasized that one must have a total interaction with the fish and an appreciation of the beauty of the surroundings, birds, animals, wild flowers, even butterflies and dragon flies. Fly fishing takes us to beautiful places and rewards us with experiences we otherwise would never know.
