Sobre este artículo
Livingston, Montana. Clark City Press. 1994. Octavo (8 1/2 x 7). 205 pp. plus colophon. Deluxe Limited Edition. Book number 10 of 200 copies published. Signed by Russell on the half-title page. The limited edition was issued with a Silver Salmon print, signed and also numbered (10) by Russ. Accompanying this book is an original colored pencil drawing by Russell Chatham showing a fly fisherman (Russ) in a row boat. The colored drawing measures 8 x 5 inches and it has Russs Papermill Creek/Tomales Bay Monogram and the year (1977), which can be seen by the gunwale in the foreground. This same colored drawing was used as a black and white illustration in the 1978 first edition of Russs book "Silent Seasons" on page 103, edited by Russell Chatham and published by E. P. Dutton. These essays and stories are among the finest outdoor/sporting themes published over the last 40 years. The book is bound in burgundy cloth with Russell's facsimile signature in gilt and date on the front cover and title on the spine. The book is kept in a matching burgundy slip case. Original art by Russ has become exceedingly scarce and this example showing him fishing is a fitting tribute to his skill and life-long passion. The book, slip case, and the original drawing in fine condition. . Signed by Author.

Sobre Bruce Cave Fine Fly Fishing Books
Bruce Cave Fine Books specializes in quality fishing books – particularly fly fishing for trout, steelhead, Pacific and Atlantic salmon, striped, black, and smallmouth bass plus any other fish that’ll eat a well-dressed fly; fresh and salt water fishing anywhere on the planet, ranging from picky rainbows in the North Fork of the Feather River near Chester in Northern California to five hundred pound river monsters at Cao Lh in the Mekong Delta. That’s me in the top photo at age 10 in 1957 on the steps of our now gone cabin at Prattville on the west shore of Lake Almanor (it was elegant) – I’m holding the largest trout I’ve ever caught (seven pounds), and needed my grandfather’s helping hand to do it; that fish caught my imagination. And that’s me in the second photo taken in late October 2014 on the same cabin steps, 57 years later, holding an imaginary fish. Between the intervening years I realized that reading about fishing could be nearly as good as fishing itself. I also came to know that fly fishing can be a metaphor for life; there are those moments in fishing that require neither stream nor fish, and sometimes the least important thing about fly fishing is the fishing. Now it’s catch and release for the most part – time spent in rivers and lakes together with age encourages it. Fly fishing is timeless; fishermen aren’t. I think Robert Traver had it right: I fish ‘because maybe one day I will catch a mermaid’; and I ‘don’t regard fishing as being so terribly important but because I suspect that so many of the other concerns of men are equally unimportant - and not nearly so much fun.' A life of fly fishing is beautiful and simple. I’m always interested in purchasing good books, booklets, pamphlets, catalogues, brochures and other ephemera on these subjects and encourage you to either email me at brucecave@comcast.net or telephone 916.728.5019. Sincerely, Bruce Cave.
