Pulp Fly Volume One

Oakwood Fisheries — Sun, 27 Mar 2011 22:00:00 +0000

The title, “Pulp Fly” plays on the pulp fiction phenomenon of the early 20th century, when an explosion of periodicals published on cheap paper brought new and unconventional voices to a wide audience. History is being repeated in the 21st century with the advent of the e-book, an inexpensive way to bring new fly-fishing writing to “print.”Some contributors to the project have written professionally for established fly-fishing publications such as The Drake, Gray’s Sporting Journal, Fly Rod & Reel, and Fly Fish Journal among others, while a few of the writers are making their voices heard for the first time.Pulp Fly was created to offer a new venue for fresh perspectives on sporting topics, for talented writers emerging and well-known; to circumvent the cumbersome and expensive process of print book publishing and take advantage of new technologies to reach new audiences.Contributors to Volume OneMatt DunnBob WhiteDavin EbanksMichael GracieAlex LandeenBjorn StromsnessAlex CerveniakRalph BartholdtBruce SmithhammerMatt SmythePete McDonald

Freedom for the River Queen (Kids Learning To Fly Fish)

Oakwood Fisheries — Sun, 27 Mar 2011 22:00:00 +0000

In 1884, rivers were in crisis as westward expansion and industrialization spawned America's gilded age. Overfishing to feed a population growing by the train car every day and dumping from tanneries, refineries, and slaughter houses had killed most of the fish. A new US Commission on Fisheries thought it had found the solution to fresh fish for America from a European Queen and her entourage. But the Queen had a different idea for coming to America. This is a book for fly fishers to read to their young children about catch and release, about imigrating to America, and about the transition from valued inhabitant in her home country to reviled foreign nuisance in her adopted country. On an environmental level, it covers clean streams, and the practice of catch and release sport fishing. This is a difficult concept; but catch and release of a carp? INCONCEIVABLE!!! Except in Denver, Colorado, where a pioneer named Barry Reynolds started a movement embracing and celebrating this fish for its difficulty to catch on a fly rod and its raw power. Izaak Walton, the father of fly fishing, call the Carp, "Queen of the Rivers." In Denver, Colorado they call her the "Colorado Dorado" and celebrate her each year with a fly fishing contest and gala on the river. How and why the Queen became hated in America, while she continues to be revered in all other countries of the world has remained unexplained, until now. Reviews: "Wow, really?" Francesca"Great tale. Tail?" Tim Emery"Can't wait to read it." Erica Stock Cleaver
