Familiar Waters: A lifetime of fly fishing Montana

Autor David Stuver
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 aug 2020
Sold on three continents to fly fishers new and experienced. Stuver has lived in Montana for more than eighty years, and spent most of them with a fly rod chasing trout in the world famous blue ribbon rivers, high elevation streams, and prairie ponds. This is a collection of his experiences with the entomology, hydrology and land ethics in a place considered by many to be one of the premier fly fishing destinations in the world. He writes with jovial humor about the joys of streamside companions, technical details of his original fly tying patterns, and the influence human activities have on trout streams. From the pages: "I was a boy at a ranch on the Powder River in southeastern Montana, a generation removed from homesteaders ... My mother's parents resigned from teaching jobs in South Dakota to homestead free Montana land ... when one could still ride all day without crossing a fence ... As the years go by, I clearly remember the fishing and the scenery, and I have my old fishing logs for reference ... In time, the focal point of an adventure may fade to a particular fish, vision of landscape, or a special wildlife encounter; the reason for being there. A fish is sometimes memorable due to size, but is more often remembered because of the circumstances, the particular challenge, the color and appearance, or a special location on a stream." From the foreword: "In these pages you will find stories, experiences, and wisdom. These have been earned by David and belong to him. After reading this book, they will belong to you as well."

Notă biografică

David Stuver was raised at a Montana ranch on the Powder River. He received a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture from Montana State University. He and his wife Jean raised four children, including twin daughters, one of whom passed away at a young age. Stuver worked as an Agricultural Federal Loan Officer for thirty-six years. During his career he fly fished the Bighorn trout waters around Helena, and prairie ponds in Northern and Eastern Montana. He has lived in central Montana in Lewistown for thirty-four years, retired for nineteen years, and has fished locations including the Yellowstone Park region and the area East of Glacier Park. He guided fly fishermen in Montana for more than fifteen years. An interest in all aspects of trout fishing led to the investigation of hatches and the development of successful imitations, with this book representing a lifetime of fishing observations and an interest in other outdoor activities and wildlife. Other interests include family visits to the home ranch, which is now operated by a brother.
