Trout of the World
By James Prosek, Hardcover, 224 pages.
From the Oxus trout of
eastern Afghanistan to the small golden brown trout of British chalk streams, James Prosek
has dedicated his unique painting talent to bringing to life trout from around the world,
several of which are the few remaining of their type. Prosek has a passion for trout and
conveys their beauty with the stroke of his brush in this collection of nearly 100
gorgeous watercolors. The text provides a historical profile of each fish along with
personal reflections by the author. Prosek savors the beauty of various fishing spots,
along with the fate of the species, contemplating man's role in the extinction of animals.
Both sensitive and informative, "Trout of the World" is a must for the library
of the recreational fisherman as well as the ichthyologist.
Trout and Salmon
of North America
By Robert J. Behnke, George Scott (Editor), Joseph R. Tomelleri (Illustrator), and
Thomas McGuane, Hardcover, 360 pages.
This new book is an authoritative, easy-to-use guide to all
types of trout and salmon of North America. Chapters are arranged by type: Oncorhynchus
(Pacific salmon, rainbow trout, and redband trout, Gila, Apache, and cutthroat trout);
Salmo (Atlantic salmon and brown trout); and Salvelinus (brook trout, lake trout, bull
trout, Arctic char, and Dolly Varden).
Behnke (Native
Trout of Western North America), professor emeritus of fishery and wildlife biology,
has brought his more than 50 years of studying, and fishing for salmon and trout, to
wonderful effect. He provides readers with an authoritative compendium of the evolution,
biology, ecology, habitats and behaviors of these prized game fish. A capsule legend that
includes scientific name, common names, habitat, size, life span and diet accompanies each
entry, amazingly illustrated by Tomelleri (Fishes of the
Central United States), whose fish seem to shimmer on the pages.
Habitat maps, which include coastal waters, rivers, streams and lakes, are detailed and
specific enough to be taken on fishing excursions. The book includes a good deal of
fishing lore, as in the notations that describe the best flies, bait and lures for
specific types of fish and locales. Behnke also ponders some of the more philosophical
aspects of ecology and human responsibility for the environment. Along with full and
clearly written scientific explanations, statistics and analysis, the author provides
anecdotal and historical details that make this not just a field guide, but a fascinating
read for those interested in the natural world. For the last word on trout and salmon,
look no further than this guide.

Salmonid
Fishes: Population Biology, Genetics, and Management
By Yuri P. Altukhov, Elena A. Salmenkova, Vladimir T. Omelchenko, Iu P. Altukhov,
Hardcover, 354 pages.
This important title encompasses features of
genetic processes in complexly organised population systems of salmonids, one of the most
commercially valuable families of fish worldwide. Translated from the original work in
Russian, the authors have taken the opportunity to update and revise the work, much of it
appearing in the English language for the first time. Covering such important concepts as
optimal gene diversity and the unfavourable influence of fishery and hatchery reproduction
on the genetic structure of salmon populations, the authors have drawn together a huge
wealth of information that will form the cornerstone of much new work in the future. The
authors of Salmonid Fishes have between them many years of research experience and
practical knowledge in the area and the English translation of this important work, which
has been edited by Professor John Thorpe and Professor Gary Carvalho, provides vital
information for all those involved in salmonid management, exploitation and conservation,
including fish biologists, fisheries managers, conservation and population biologists,
ecologists and geneticists.
Genetic
Conservation of Salmonid Fishes
By Joseph G. Cloud and Gary H. Thorgaard (Editors), Hardcover, 314 pages.
The problem is that, with the continuing degradation of water and habitat quality, selective harvesting, genetic enhancement programs, and the introduction of hatchery fish into wild populations, the genetic makeup of fish is changing radically. In papers from a workshop held in Moscow, Idaho, and Pullman, Washington, scientists address the problem. They focus on the salmonids, not only one of the most commercially important groups of fish, but one that must be dealt with on an international level, because they live parts of their lives in different territorial waters. Among the topics are the spatial organization of Pacific salmon, genetic resources banks and reproductive technology, the cryopreservation of fish spermatozoa, and a data base for trout brood stocks.

Papers are based on the Third International Atlantic Salmon symposium held in Biarritz in October 1986.
Salmon
without Rivers: A History of the Pacific Salmon Crisis
By Jim Lichatowich, Hardcover, 352 pages.
The author, a fisheries
scientist who has spent the greater part of 30 years working in Oregon and Washington in
salmon management, provides an account of the roots and evolution of the salmon crisis in
the Pacific Northwest. He examines the failure of restoration efforts and insists that
hatcheries are not the solution to the problem. As much a history as a scientific study,
this book examines the indigenous fishing cultures, as well as the story of salmon
extinction over the last few decades. Lichatowich argues broadly that society's world view
must change, allowing for more connection between humans and the natural world, yet he
also provides some more practical measures to help solve the salmon crisis.
Sustainable
Fisheries Management: Pacific Salmon
By E. Eric Knudsen (Editor), Donald MacDonald, Hardcover, 752 pages.
This collection of papers examines
the state of the salmon fisheries in the Pacific Northwest. They cover existing methods
and supply model approaches for alternative solutions. The editors stress the importance
of input from and cooperation with all parties involved to create a viable solution. Grass
roots education and participation is the key to public support - and ultimately the
success - of whatever management solutions are developed.A unique and valuable scientific
publication, Sustainable Fisheries Management: Pacific Salmon clearly articulates the
current state of the Pacific salmon resource, describes the key features of its
management, and provides important guidance on how we can make the transition towards
sustainable fisheries. The solutions presented in this book provide the basis of a
strategy for sustainable fisheries, requiring society and governmental agencies to
establish a shared vision, common policies, and a process for collaborative management.
Making Salmon:
Environmental History of the Northwest Fisheries
By Joseph E., III Taylor, William Cronon, Hardcover, 488 pages.
The authors examine the
social, cultural, economic, and environmental contexts of the decline of salmon in the
Pacific Northwest from the aboriginal fisheries through the advent of industrial fishing
and the rise of hatcheries all the way down to the current crisis of the salmon fisheries
as they face the threat of collapse today. He argues that solutions to the problem are
frustrated by the inability of commercial and sport fishers, fish culturalist,
environmentalists, smelters, irrigators, bargers, and dam agencies to find common ground.

Modern Streamers
for Trophy Trout: New Techniques, Tactics, and Patterns
By Bob Linsenman, Kelly Galloup, Jerry Dennis, Hardcover, 176 pages.
This first
modern, all-encompassing manual on the art of streamer fishing teaches new techniques for
catching trophy-sized trout on a fly. Streamers are the most effective of all fly patterns
for the seduction of large trout, because they imitate the look and behavior of the
smaller fish these trophies feed on. Sooner or later, every angler seeking the thrill of
landing a trout over 20 inches--a dream fish for most--will need to understand the
particular art of streamer fishing. This is the first book written about streamers in over
50 years. Despite streamer fishing's perennial popularity, it has been eclipsed in recent
years by the sport's long love affair with dry flies. Revealed here in this indispensable,
knowledgeable book are dozens of new streamer patterns and many proven advanced techniques
for hooking huge trout, making it a must-buy for the dedicated fly-fisherman at any level
of experience.
