Produktbeschreibung
Musings on the sport from a seasoned Vermont angler: "Crowded with quotable gems... Literate and witty-a bonanza catch." -Kirkus Reviews Earthy and philosophical, practical yet speculative-this book is a wonderful and enduring portrait of a fisherman's temperament. Filled with Harold F. Blaisdell's infectious humanity and wisdom,The Philosophical Fisherman is a classic. Blaisdell is always independent and original in his thinking. He refutes the widely held theory that game fish attack artificial lures because they believe them to be baitfish. He argues that fish do not fear leaders per se, but become alarmed only if the leader results in the unnatural movement of the bait or lure. He debunks the vaunted effectiveness of the artificial nymph, explores the best methods of wet- and dry-fly fishing, and tests his theories against such gamefish as trout, smallmouth bass, landlocked salmon, walleyes, and northern pike. There is something here for everyone who fishes-including a persuasive argument that the average angler anywhere in the country can invariably find superb fishing within an hour's drive of home. "My favorite book on fishing." -John Randolph, former editor,Fly Fisherman

Autorenporträt
Harold F. Blaisdell was one of the Northeast's most experienced freshwater anglers. His articles appeared in such sporting publications as Field & Stream, Sports Afield, Outdoor Life, and Fly Fisherman, and his fine book Tricks That Take Fish (Skyhorse, 2012) was hailed as one of the most practical, down-to-earth manuals ever written about fishing. Blaisdell died in 1985.

Jerry Gibbs, a longtime acquaintance of Harold Blaisdell, is the former fishing editor of Outdoor Life magazine. He lives in Cumberland, Maine.
