Jack has graciously agreed to personally autograph each
copy of his books when requested with your order. I can't think
of a better gift for the fisherman who has everything, the book
collector, or the youngster who will surely prize one of these
specially autographed books.
Almost
an encyclopedia of Billfishing with flies, Billfish
on a Fly tells you how-to, where-to, and why-to
catch the various species of billfish and sailfish. It
covers flies, reels, rods and other tackle, including the
new "lifting" fly rods. Several chapters cover
in depth such exotic destinations as Mazatlan, Costa Rica
and Panama. In addition, the catch and release versus
record controversy is examined. Jack comes down squarely
on the side of release, to conserve the fishing for all
involved.
Let the first person to catch all five
species of marlin, in both the Atlantic and Pacific, on a
fly rod tell you the story of his feat and show you how
changes in today's tackle might make billfishing with a
fly possible for you. (80 pages, 11" x 9"
hardbound)
Only a writer of Jack Samson's experience and honed
skills could have done justice to Lee Wulff, who did more
to bring flyfishing to its present angling eminence than
any other. Lee Wulff did everything -- and most things
two or three times. Let's see: father, or at least
Godfather, of catch and release, trained engineer,
skilled artist, wonderful pilot. Wulff flies, the
Portland hitch, opening up Newfoundland tourism for tuna
and Atlantic Salmon, founding father of both the Atlantic
Salmon Federation and Fly Fishing, book author, multiple
record holder of fly and all-tackle records, and more.
This wonderful biography shows Wullf was
primarily an artist who expressed his insights on paper,
in print, with a flyrod and at the controls of an
aircraft. He simply saw more fish, cast more gracefully,
and played fish better than anyone else. Then he managed
to juggle a host of other activities with panache and
style. Lee defined "unique."
