For Paul Phillips, not every day on the stream is an idyllic, spiritual experience. Small Streams and Daydreams is a compilation of entertaining essays on the 30 years he's spent fly-fishing throughout the United States and Canada. Unlike most writers in this genre, Phillips' back casts are not always flawless, his accuracy is not always unerring, and his footing not always assured. He gets lost, he falls, he loses equipment, his line gets entangled, and he's admittedly caught more "stick-fish" than most people have trout. With sharp wit and humor, Phillips' essays combine an abiding love for nature and for fly-fishing with the insight to see the pastime for what it is (an avocation) as well as what it is not (an emblem of distinction). While he waxes philosophical at times, at others he pokes great fun at his favorite target-himself. Phillips is a self-taught, self-described fly-fishing contrarian who eschews instructors, guides, lodges, sanctimonious peers, and matching the hatch. While his aim on stream is all too frequently awry, he can and does draw a steady bead on the grim-faced, the scolds, and the snobs whom he views as too prevalent, and too influential, in the contemporary literature on this wild, beautiful, and relaxing hobby.

Eugene Burns worked tirelessly and meticulously to research and understand the fundamentals of fly fishing. He questioned traditional fishing methods and ideas used for hundreds of years and honed in on subtle nuances most fishermen gloss over. He fundamentally changed fly fishing by revolutionizing casting with the Lazy S technique and introducing day-glo fluorescent materials to fly tying. “In every page of Advanced Fly Fishing the implied theme is plain,” writes Francis Sells, “each cast must embody all the techniques an angler knows or else he cannot realize the full potentialities of his fly, method and water.” From short and long casts to dry flies and spinners, Burns breaks new ground on all aspects of fly fishing. This is a perfect book for an experienced angler who wants to learn a few new techniques or a true beginner who wants to learn every aspect and angle of the sport.

ON THE WATERS The best stories from FINS & FEATHERS To read these short essays of fishing adventures by Ray Kucharski you come to appreciate the joy he gets from each fishing day and each cast he makes. The stories are not only charming but also informative about ways of catching the wily fish. Each story describes the delight that an avid fisherman like Ray feels for the sport of fishing. One gains many insights and some important learning lessons for life that this sport gives to all those who do it. Ray has been writing these stories for over ten years for the small Waterville community paper, The Waterville Wig Wag. He also has written for American Angler and Flyfishing & Tying Journal magazines. My husband David and I, editors of the small paper encouraged Ray to put these many stories together as a group of essays. I am sure you will enjoy these tales of New Hampshire and New England fishing as our readers have. Even if you are not a fisherman you will not be bored. I never was.
