Trout Maverick
Trout Maverick is a full collection of the finest lore and theory taken from sixty years of fly fishing by one of America's most independent, challenging, and original angling writers.Len Wright's "heresies" are becoming well accepted, as they are brilliant fish-taking techniques. Some of these are: fishing a dry fly with a slight, upstream twitch; tying floating caddis imitations with hackle-fiber wings; dancing a dropper down-current; using extra-long fly rods; demonstrating that wet flies are superior to nymphs; and dozens of others. Everyone can learn from Len Wright's years of study and commitment - always to what works in fly fishing, not merely what is habit or even tradition. (61/4 X 91/4, 228 pages, illustrations)

The Ways of Trout
Why will trout sometimes take freely when none is seen feeding? Questions such as this plague trout fishermen, and Wright offers answers by detailing his theories on when and why trout feed.
Haunted by Waters
Four essential questions: Why does one fish? How should one properly fish? What relations are created in fishing? And what effects does fishing have on the future? Haunted by Waters is a self-examination by the author as he constructs his own narrative and tries to answer these questions for himself. But it is also a thorough examination of the answers he uncovers in the course of reading what's been written on the subject. As his own story unfolds, Mark Browning analyzes angling literature from the Bible to Norman Maclean, always bringing his inquiry back to the same source: the enigma of this sport. Haunted by Waters is an exploration of the apparent compulsion of those who fish not only to read about the sport, but to write about it as well. Mark Browning's personal account as a fly fisherman and his perspective as a critic make him uniquely qualified to navigate these waters.

Fly Fisher's Reader
Leonard M. Wright has compiled a wonderfully varied collection featuring works from such prominent figures as fly fishing legend Sparse Grey Hackle and novelist Thomas McGuane, along with some heretofore hidden talent. The stories represent a wide range of quarry and locales, from a vivid report on Canadian rainbow trout by a twenty-one-year-old Ernest Hemingway to William Humphrey's The Spawning Run--the classic novelette on Welsh salmon fishing. Nick Lyons, Robert Traver, and Russell Chatham among others provide us with distinctly American humor and insights on bass, trout, and the pursuit thereof from quiet Northeastern creeks to the bustling San Francisco Bay.
