8 by Carmichael“8 by Carmichael” is a collection of articles, four of which are remembrances of men and fishing trips, both fresh and salt water. There is one about the need to conserve weight (reel and reel seat hardware) behind the casting hand, another on author and innovator Vince Marinaro, and a lengthy piece on the great Pennsylvania fly tier, Chauncy Lively. The last two concern rod makers: Dr. George Parker Holden, author, and the man who taught Everett Garrison, and finally a long piece about Ed and Jim Payne, unequaled makers of American fishing tackle in the 19th and 20th centuries. |

The Grand Cascapedia River: A History (Volume 1)The history of the Grand Cascapedia River spans over 150 years. It is replete with interesting men and women, whose interaction with others often exposed the uneven edges of human nature, and whose stories are the stuff of novels. Large fish also have their place in this narrative, as does the politics that goes with any piece of valued turf that is sought after by men of influence, many of whom were not Canadians. |
|---|---|
The Grand Cascapedia River: A History (Volume 2)The history of the Grand Cascapedia River continues in Vol. II, taking up from the mid-1930s where Vol. I ended. It covers in detail how the great river almost went back into the hands of the Canadian government during the Great Depression, how it was saved and by who, and then how the pools were reallocated, much as they are today. It will be available in the Spring of 2011. |
