Rising Trout: Second Edition

Rising Trout: Second Edition

When Charles K. Fox (1908-1997), one of the deans of American angler-journalists, writes on trout, other anglers reap the benefit of his years of association with his favorite fish. From the time he was a country boy who sought and caught them - fishing when school was out and sometimes when it wasn't - he has been associated with the limestone streams of central Pennsylvania, which for many decades have provided some of the best trout fishing in North America. He lived for years on the renowned Yellow Breeches and then along the LeTort, which ran through his back yard close enough for him to see the water dimple as a big brownie rose to feed in the dusk of early evening. He was not a wizard, or magician and his only court was a little wooden table and bench where he would often sit and observe the fish, tie flies, and talk to the hordes of anglers who stopped to meet him. He was the quintessential gentleman of fly fishing. He was perhaps one of the most famous fly fisherman who lived since Izaak Walton, and one of the most influential. He was a conservationist before anyone really knew what one was. For over fifty years he faithfully guarded one of the most sacred streams in the world. His efforts included protecting the fish and stream through proper environmental management, to physically hauling and strategically placing gravel in the stream, so that nature would increase the chances of the spawning fish. His books are considered classics in the literary world of fly fishing, The Wonderful World of Trout and Rising Trout are a testament to a man's love of nature and his fellow man. Rising Trout is a compilation of the observations, discoveries, and informed opinions of a man who knows trout as hardly any other person can claim to.
