Angeln & Fischen

Paperback

Angling. Is there anything better? Setting up for a day's fishing at a favourite haunt, the beautiful countryside an enchanting backdrop to the anticipated aquatic battle that lies ahead. The dip of a float or a twitch on the rod top indicating some unseen interest in the angler's bait, before the float plunges under or the rod top rips round... now let the battle commence!Of course, angling offers so much more than the ultimate outcome of a fish or two. The serenity, the beauty and the solitude that our waterways offer the intrepid piscator are truly amazing. Angling is spiritual; it's therapeutic and it manifests healing properties for the mind. There is an innate desire to fish in all of us that dates back through thousands of years of mankind's development; many anglers truly believe they were born to fish.These sentiments are shared amongst the contributors to Lifelines. In all, twenty-eight actors, entertainers, filmmakers, authors, journalists and anglers bring you a selection of short stories centred around angling. Some are true, others are works of fiction.Comedian, actor and one half of Mortimer and Whitehouse: Gone Fishing Paul Whitehouse reminisces on his experiences on the middle Dee one burning hot August weekend, Luke Jennings (creator of Villanelle and bestselling author of the Killing Eve series) takes us into the realms of the supernatural, and international wildlife filmmaker and Passion for Angling director Hugh Miles tells of a fatal encounter with the pumas of South America. Whether you're an angler or not yourself, you are sure to enjoy these and many other fantastic contributions. There's even a winter's ghost story to keep you company on a cold and windy night!This is the perfect book to dip in and out of (if you can put it down) and has been expertly compiled by authors Nathan Walter and Rod Sturdy.Tight Lines!

In the late spring of 1991, dedicated health professional, football nut, devoted father, and angling obsessive Ken Barlow upped sticks from his home in Tyneside and took off for south-west Scotland in search of a new life.<BR>He certainly found it.<BR>Ken and his wife, Jackie, set about taking over the Palakona Guest House and fishing business in the town of Newton Stewart in Dumfries and Galloway, and found themselves knee deep in much more than loch weeds and Scottish heather. In the years that followed, Ken learned an awful lot about the area and its people, and about its waters and the fish that inhabit them.<BR>In Fishing For Change, Ken describes the many adventures - and misadventures - he and his nearest and dearest witnessed during their time as proprietors of the Palakona. With plenty of laugh-out-loud anecdotes about the angler's lot, as well as touching and fascinating accounts of the people who shared the Barlow's company during the period, it's a brilliant memoir of a life lived to the full.<BR>

This is a collection of humorous and fun short stories by Captain Jeff Waxman about his experiences on the water. Tales of Fish, Boats & the Sea covers a range of topics with photos to enhance the tales. This is his second book of sea stories.

Prezado amigo pescador,Você está pronto para iniciar uma nova, bela e fascinante jornada e descobrir a Tenkara? O termo Tenkara refere-se à antiga técnica japonesa de pesca com mosca, desenvolvida para pescar trutas e salvelinos encontrados em riachos nas montanhas japonesas. Não era praticada por esporte ou hobby, como fazemos agora, era uma pesca de sobrevivência que servia para alimentar os aldeões. Somente a partir da década de 1960 Tenkara começou a ser um hobby.Mas referir-se a Tenkara apenas como uma técnica simples e banal de pesca com mosca seria muito simplista e também errado. A filosofia Tenkara preserva e honra muitos dos valores e habilidades dos profissionais da montanha, como os Shokuryoshi, os Kijishi e os Matagi.Os pescadores passaram de pai para filho os segredos que a experiência lhes ensinara, e com este livro quero fazer a mesma coisa, passando tudo o que sei para vocês, para que esses segredos ancestrais estejam disponíveis e sejam úteis também para vocês.

Tenho certeza de que você vai se emocionar com essa técnica tão fascinante, assim como eu me emocionei.Seguindo as dicas que encontrará neste livro, você rapidamente será um bom pescador Tenkara, mesmo começando de zero e que não tenha pescado jamais em sua vida, porque neste livro tentei transmitir toda a minha experiência.Também falarei das técnicas que praticava antes da Tenkara, e em cada uma delas há uma dica, uma mensagem que vai ajudar você a melhorar.
