This classic tailwater fishery is renowned around the world for easy access and trophy sized trout.

Notes From The San Juans - Thoughts About Fly Fishing And Home

de Steven J. Meyers

16,32€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book, more than anything else, is a book about place. Centered on the San Juan Mountains of southwest Colorado, a range of jagged peaks inhabited by the sometimes equally jagged people of small mountain towns, it is a book about the search for a place to call home, after other homes have been wrecked. Steve Meyers, a transplanted easterner, speaks for tens of thousands of younger people who have searched for a way of life outside of the homogenizing pressures of contemporary American society. His search led him to the San Juans and he writes with extraordinary warmth and depth about a way of life that has become increasingly rare and a region that has managed to maintain its startling beauty and idiosyncrasies; and he writes movingly about a father who vanished and about personal loss and about triumph. Throughout the book, wild trout and colorful people appear as comfortable residents of this relatively remote region in which the act of fly fishing seems as natural as eating and sleeping. Ultimately Notes from the San Juans is the story of a man who has been seduced by the pleasures of the mountains and the joys of fly fishing and bright mountain streamsbut it is also very much a story of human values and courage and hard-won joy.

Desert Rims To Mountains High

de Richard F. Fleck

22,51€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Inspired by his ranger days in Rocky Mountain National Park more than forty five years ago as well as more recent rambles, Richard Fleck has created these descriptive essays that take readers from shimmering desert heat to snowy summits. Fleck has expanded his acclaimed book Breaking Through the Clouds (2004) to create a new book that concentrates on the intermountain American West. This edition includes counterpoint experiences in the desert, canyon lands, and dry prairie far below the summits of the lofty peaks, such as Death Valley, Grand Gulch, Grand Canyon, and the Great Sand Dunes. His literary model was Edward Abbey’s Desert Solitaire and his intent is to involve readers with an equally potent but different kind of natural reality. Fleck says, "After all, do not mountains rise out of deserts and dry lands? Mountains and surrounding deserts should not be separated." The mountains are a constant source of spiritual renewal for this author, enabling him to become more aware and whole.

 Trout Bum is a fresh, contemporary look at fly fishing, and the way of life that grows out ofa passion for it.

The wit, warmth, and the easy familiarity that John Gierach brings to us in Trout Bum is as fresh and engaging now was when it was first published twenty-five years ago. There''s no telling how many anglers have quit their jobs and headed west after reading the first edition of this classic collection of fly-fishing essays.
