Northwest of Someplace: Stories from Roads Less Traveled

Northwest of Someplace: Stories from Roads Less Traveled

An anthology of hunting, fishing, and outdoor stories from four authors who have been there. The members of the Lost Branch Sportsman's Club share their stories of days in the woods and on the water of (mostly) Michigan chasing big game, small game, trout, panfish, or simply being outdoors, where success doesn't come through bag limits and competition, but by being present. Authors include PDJ/RJ editor Jake Smith, and frequent contributors Jon Osborn, Chris Smith, and Greg Frey.
Soft Cover. 120 pages.

Ruin

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.

Spey Flies

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.
Hard Cover. 288 pages.
