About This Item
Little, Brown, 1953. Hard cover. Good/Fair. Dustjacket worn with pieces missing. No person is more closely associated with streamer fly-fishing than Joseph D. Bates, Jr. Between 1950 and 1986, Bates established himself as one of the worldâs leading authorities on tying streamers and using them to catch everything from Atlantic salmon to striped bass. Yet, Bates was also the first American to write extensively on the advent of spinning tackle; the first of his 16 books was Spinning for American Game Fish, and two more on the subject would follow over the next seven years...The fixed-spool reel, the threadlike line, the infinite variety of light lures, all combine to make casting possible in spots which the fly-fisherman or bait caster cannot reach, to increase the speed and thoroughness of coverage of all spots, and to heighten the fun of playing the fish. Chapters include: Let's go spinning; Evolution of spinning; Spinning rods; Modern spinning reels; Spinning lines; Lures; Selection of equipment; Casting; Hints and suggestions; Spinning on rivers; Trout in small streams; Pond fishing; Lake fishing; Salt water spinning; Fly-fishing with spinning tackle.
