Northwest of Someplace: Stories from Roads Less Traveled

By Jake Smith

An anthology of hunting, fishing, and outdoor stories from four authors who have been there.

Authors include PDJ/RJ/JL editor Jake Smith, and frequent contributors Jon Osborn, Chris Smith, and Greg Frey.

Out of the Box

In this book, expert fly designer John Barr covers his techniques for catching more fish, including trout and warmwater species such as bass. His unconventional techniques include adapting tactics for bass and panfish for catching trout and using trout techniques for warmwater species. He covers his deadly technique of fishing multiple flies in detail and shares his favorite fly combinations for fishing the hatches, both in rivers and still waters. Even if you're wise to the technique of fishing multiple flies to increase your chances of catching fish, John Barr takes that game to a whole new level in this book. There are chapters on fishing all the major hatches, streamer fishing, fishing for warmwater species, lake fishing, as well as critical insights into the mental game that enables the top 10 percent of anglers to catch 90 percent of all the fish.

Ruin

Frank is another dreamer whose life is suddenly burned to the ground. More a disillusioned literature Ph.D. than an experienced financier, he had naively agreed to join his wife's inheritance with his own personal guarantee of a college friend's private equity partnership debt. The business implosion and subsequent bankruptcy took all their assets. Francy, an orphaned European heiress, now finds herself homeless, still married to pleasant, witty Frank - who had failed to protect them from disaster. The couple flees Manhattan to live at a desolate non-working Hudson Valley farm. Frank starts an artisanal brewery with a charismatic new eccentric friend. And, central to the heart of the story, he takes up fly fishing. A local doctor, perceiving Frank's depression, prescribes that he gain some confidence through self-taught fishing. Frank's perceptions on the water are fresh and acute, sometimes colored by his memory of the words of famous writers, now painfully ironic in his life's new context. The novel weaves together fly fishing and life experiences that ultimately turn shockingly deadly.

Small Water Waterfowling

By Chris Smith

New Release! When it comes to actually shooting ducks and geese over water, the action is on the small places, inland lakes, ponds, potholes, floodings, creeks, and backwaters. Day in and day out, that's where the ducks are, and that's where Smith takes you. He lays out the different techniques, decoys, calling, gear, weather, dog skills, bird species, and expectations for these quiet and intimate spots. And in a sport where more is often viewed as better, Smith weaves personal hunting stories throughout, emphasizing the important role ethics play for the modern-day waterfowler, and how a full bag limit isn't the end goal but rather icing on the cake.

Spey Flies

The author, John Shewey is not only our editor, he is also the world's leading authority on the history and tying of Spey flies because they caught his fancy in the 1980s. Over the years he has conducted more research on the topic by far than anyone else. His vision for this new incarnation of his original Spey Flies includes a tremendous upgrade from the original - an entirely new book, in fact - because he has uncovered so many historical facts, intrigues, people, and flies that have never been compiled in a single volume. His original Spey Flies was graphically rich; the new book is far more so. Full color with fly recipes.
