Finally—It’s Here!!
Fly Fishing in the Great
Smoky Mountains National Park:
An Insider’s Guide to a Pursuit of Passion
“I am fascinated by this book and will be from now
on. This is the complete book about fly fishing in the Smokies. It is
obvious that Jim Casada knows more about Park streams, the area’s
history and heritage, and our sport than anyone I have met. It is a
masterpiece.”
—Byron Begley,
owner of Little River Outfitters
“If your passion is trout of the Southern
highlands, this book will prove to be as indispensable as a favorite rod
and wading boots.”
—Sam
Venable, longtime columnist for the Knoxville News-Sentinel.
“This is a book anyone who knows or plans to visit
the Smokies will cherish, but also a book that anyone who takes pleasure
in fine writing about the outdoor world and especially fly fishing will
admire greatly. I do.”
—Nick
Lyons, noted fly-fishing book author, from the Foreword
Check
Out a Sample of the Book’s Contents
This is a book I’ve
mentioned repeatedly in my monthly newsletter and in public appearances,
and for me it is my “book of a lifetime.” The 448-page book features
detailed coverage of all the major streams of the nation’s most visited
national park along with insight on even the smaller feeders. In
addition, there are dozens of helpful graphs, scores of both vintage and
modern photographs, a detailed list of outfitters and guides, a folding
map which is tucked into the book and can be carried with you on the
trail, an extensive annotated bibliography, and much more.
With a Foreword by
acclaimed angling writer Nick Lyons, this book features a lifetime of
knowledge and insight gained from untold days and years of blissful
casting and wading in the finest wild trout water east of the Rockies.
If you are interested in the history of the high country of western
North Carolina and east Tennessee, want to know more about fishing in
the Smokies, or are seeking detailed information on tactics and
techniques which work well in the region, this book is for you. You’ll
enjoy all sorts of anecdotal tidbits, take to the stream with endearing
old timers, and find answers to about anything imaginable about the
Smokies and their fishing.
The samples will give
you a feel for the flavor and flair of the book. They include the Table
of Contents, the full text of two chapters covering streams (one in each
state), a selection from the coverage of “Seasons of the Smokies,” and a
stream graph of the type provided for all the Park’s major drainages. I
think you’ll find the material of interest, and it’s but a hint of what
awaits you.
The book is available
in both hardback and paperback formats. Both include the folder map
showing Park trails and designated backcountry campsites. For the
hardbound version, send $37.50 plus $5 postage and handling, while the
paperbound version is $24.95 plus $5 postage and handling.
You can order by
sending a check or money order to Jim Casada, 1250 Yorkdale Drive, Rock
Hill, SC 29730-7638 or through my Web site
using PayPal. I’m scheduled to have the books in hand on August 21
and will start filling orders immediately.
