Tarpon Quest

In Tarpon Quest, Cole offers a vivid and detailed look at his quarry, the great silver king, and of the exquisite waters of the Florida Keys and the Marquesas Islands that it inhabits. He describes the dramatic pursuit of these huge fish with fly rod and flies - near misses, heartrendering failures, the earned (and unearned) successes of others, and finally his own chance. (51/2 X 81/4, 112 pages)

Campers, hikers, naturalists, sailors, fishermen, hunters, and anyone else who ventures into the outdoors will want to own The Book of Outdoor Knots. This meticulously illustrated handbook describes 70 of the most common knots for the outdoors, showing in clear, step-by-step line drawings each phase of the properly tied knot. Perhaps most important, the book explains precisely which knot to use in each specific situation. Knots of all kinds are covered here: hitches for fastening rope to a fixed object, bends to connect two ropes, loops for a range of purposes, running knots, knots to shorten rope lengths, and others. The Book of Outdoor Knots also covers natural and synthetic ropes as well as rope maintenance, general tying guidelines, breaking strength, and more.

Chalkstream Chronicle is a brilliant, memorable account of a man who gave up a sixty-hour work week in London for a life within earshot of a great trout river. 
Neil Patterson's decision to convert a dilapidated old stable into a true home for himself and his family, and his ability thereby to fish the river intimately, month by month, hatch by hatch, in fair weather and foul, form the heart of this remarkable memoir. 
His angling idyll records the realities and the rewards of his choice: life in a damp, half-built house that first winter, and the rare chance to know a great chalkstream and the characters who fish it with great intimacy. His restless, inventive mind leads him to observe the life of the river frequently missed by occasional visitors. 
He even develops a host of highly original fly patterns - like the Funneldun, the Caddox and the Deerstalker, now known internationally - and perfects fly-fishing techniques and theories of immense value to fishermen world wide. 
No serious fly fisherman will want to miss this engaging, practical and penetrating memoir.
