Publisher's Notes
Charles Lindsay's grandfather taught him to fly-fish when he was nine years old. Ever since, in pursuit of trout and solitude, he has immersed himself in the clear, rushing waters of the American West. At times photographing beneath the surface of the water, Lindsay literally enters the world of the trout. In close observance of the cosmos within the river, he explores the fundamental relationship of all life to water.
The photographs in UPSTREAM illuminate a primitive world of elemental beauty and fractured light abstract and utterly in motion. At the dawn of the twenty first century, with wilderness under siege and humanity increasingly removed from nature, Lindsay uses his camera to express the enduring vitality of the natural world. Thomas McGuane, avid fly fisherman and frequent contributor to Sports Illustrated and RIVERWATCH, brilliantly explores these themes in his accompanying essay.

Fishing Bamboo
by John Gierach
Fishing bamboo fly rods remains one of the great delights of fly fishing -- still practiced by obsessive anglers who would rather not fish at all than fish "plastic". They love the history of bamboo rod-making, the individuality of rods and tapers, the subtle differences between new and old rods, and the current craftsmen who maintain the great tradition -- often against the increasing surge of interest in space-age technology. John Gierach, America's most popular fly-fishing essayist, treats all of the above with his hallmark mixture of wit, common sense, and knowledge born of deep experience. A great lover of bamboo rods for his entire fishing life, Gierach here celebrates the art of the bamboo fly rod and offers a detailed and memorable portrait of the pleasures of "fishing bamboo". The book has a helpful bibliography and lists of reliable rod dealers and modern bamboo rod-makers. Fishing Bamboo is an introduction to bamboo rods and to the subculture of people who make, buy, sell, collect, and fish with them.
