Ce livre vous entraîne à la découverte de la pêche à la mouche, l'un des sports les plus populaires du monde. L'auteur, John Bailey, photographe et pêcheur de renommée internationale, parle de la philosophie de la pêche à la mouche et du rôle du pêcheur-naturaliste, avant de considérer les problèmes plus pratiques liés à la pêche et au comportement des poissons traditionnellement pêchés à la mouche. Ce guide détaillé procure à la fois explications et encouragements pour que tous ceux qui aiment ce sport en tirent le meilleur.
Information-packed and heavily illustrated, this guide to the world's best places to fish is carefully curated and evenly split between fresh- and saltwater fishing. There's something for every type of angler, from fishing in streams, lakes, and ponds to the seven seas.
Every angler, whatever their preferred form of fishing, has a bucket list: dream fish to seek out, the ones that got away, the once-glimpsed fishing nirvanas. With 500 wildly different fishing experiences from around the globe, this bucket list draws on the wisdom of a host of angling writers.
Opening with essential advice for travel, permits, and hiring local help, the book is divided into sections by continent. Each entry is labeled by location, target fish species, and best time of year to visit. In each case, there is something special beyond the thrill of the catch: the natural beauty of the location, its connection to iconic anglers, or its reputation for excellence as a fishing ground.
This book includes the full spectrum of fishing scenarios: giant fish and distant locations, tracking down whispered-about shipwrecks, and returning to favorite childhood fishing holes-it's all here. Suitable for all levels of ability and packed with atmospheric and inspirational photographs, this volume is sure to fuel armchair daydreams and travel plans.
Paul Whitehouse and fishing expert John Bailey celebrate the timeless joy of fishing.
Paul Whitehouse and John Bailey have been devout fishermen for longer than they care to remember. A hobby, past time or sport - call it what you want - they have felt the pull of the water ever since they were kids and have never missed the chance to set up on the bank and try their luck.
In this wonderful book, the two fishermen collaborate to celebrate the rich tapestry that is fishing - from mentors to memories; from philosophy to modern jargon; from watercraft to becoming self-styled ''Fishing Detectives''. Punctuated by brilliant stories, beautiful illustrations by Carys Reilly-Whitehouse, and recollections from fishing day trips past, How We Fish is the perfect tome for the veteran fisherman or the budding angler - warm, funny and rich in the wonders of the riverbank.

This elegant publication presents for the first time the Eveillard Gift of drawings to the Morgan Library & Museum. It accompanies an exhibition at the Morgan and includes a catalogue of the works with entries by drawings experts. The Morgan celebrates the 100th year of its founding with a series of exhibitions devoted to promised gifts to the museum, including 28 drawings from the holdings of New York-based collectors Jean-Marie and Elizabeth Eveillard, which will be on view during the summer of 2024. The selection comprises drawings from the seventeenth to the twentieth century, and includes a rare compositional study for Rembrandt's first painting, Greuze's virtuoso depiction of a young cook made for his friend Georges Wille, Delacroix's intimate portrait of his confidante and caretaker Jenny Le Guillou, and a spectacular nude by Bonnard. Also in the gift are significant sheets-many rarely seen-by major artists including Rubens, Guercino, Watteau, Constable, Seurat, Cezanne, and Vuillard, among others. In fully illustrated entries, drawing specialists explore the creation and context for each sheet, considering the artist's choices and the ways in which drawing liberated the imagination in these exploratory studies.
