The Fish And The Fishing Rod
He has been fishing since he was two years old, and has always wanted to work in the fishing industry. After 11 years of working in communications and nonprofit management, he decided to create a movement in the fishing community. More specifically, he wanted to create a platform for people to record their fishing stories and archive them for future generations. He started Fishing Buddy Studios and founded the Fish Stories Archive.

Suddenly, about 500 seagulls that had been resting on the roof of the bath house lifted into the air and began to dive nosily into the surf. The fog was so thick I couldn’t see them, but I could hear them, not 20 yards off the beach. Figuring a blitz of snappers, I sent a 3-ounce Yo-Zuri popper into the fog and immediately came tight on what turned out to be a 12lb Albie. As I was fighting this fish, the fog began to lift and I could see I was surrounded by 25 to 30 other surfcasters. I had no clue how they suddenly appeared as this stretch of beach is wide open, so I would have seen them before the fog came in. No one spoke and the only sounds were screaming gulls and drags as we all enjoyed a rare mix of blues and albies for the next 30 minutes in a classic fall blitz.
All fishermen who have fished for a lifetime have baskets of great stories and reminiscences about the sport they love. Nick Lyons’s new collection is chock-full of them. This story is the final chapter of Hemingway’s first short story collection, In Our Time, and is one of the best fishing stories ever written. Since it is such a beautiful story, we will forgive Nick for throwing live bait with a fly rod. It is a 206 page in depth study of insect life. The author is a Ph. D in biochemistry so don’t expect jokes or campfire stories in this book but instead dive into the depths and you will emerge with a fully metamorphosed angler.
Another “fish” story in the Bible, one that most are familiar with is the story of Jonah. Jonah was swallowed by the big fish and he stayed in the stomach of the whale for three days. It is interesting to note that no fish is mentioned by name in either the Old or New Testaments, yet the word for fish is mentioned 38 times.

There was a small wooden picture frame without a glass next to the clock, and the frame had nothing in it. Leonard remembered there used to be a dollar in it; the first the bar had earned, but now it was gone. Out in the Old West there are tons of myths and legends, and sometimes those legends just might be true. Find out how the Ape Man’s falls for The Woman, and how a venture into film fails dramatically, ends with death and a humiliating act that no one wants to name.
BugWater has a large amount of high detail photos showcasing the changes of insects thru the course in their lives and why, where and when an avid fly angler can best expect those hatches to be on fire. The author goes in as much detail as showing high resolution pictures of line of sight angles trout see specific insects as they emerge or land on the water to drop eggs. It is a fascinating book, well written and in depth. After all, every great fly angler must become a well educated biologist and entomologist to keep improving their craft. For this blog I hope to share a sampling a 3 well written and completely different fly fishing books which may help you as a fly fishing angler improve your game as we head into the 2022 fly fishing season. A renowned fly fisherman, Nick Lyons uses short stories to tell his life story through fish.
