Description
Contents: Highbush Pilots (High adventure or high anxiety? You won’t know for sure until your pilot yells “Hang on”), A Natural System (The Montana Grayling, with it’s innocent ways, seems the essence of its mountain home), Dog Day Fishing (According to popular thought, you can’t catch bass in August. But if you know the tricks, you can have hot fishing despite the heat), See How They Run (Mostly we barely glimpse a running buck before it is gone or missed. Three pages of pictures capture the grace and quickness of deer on the run), Top-Water Revival (A generation of bass anglers may have missed the excitement of surface strikes, but new lures – and some oldies – are stirring up fish and fishermen as never before), Plight Of The Grizzly (The grizzly, as big and overwhelming as the wilderness it roamed, is on its last legs in the lower 48…and may even be doomed), The Ways Of Summer Walleyes (Many fishermen think of Walleyes as early-spring or late-fall fish; but if you know the Walleye’s secrets, you can hit the jackpot now), Gamebirds Of The Big Sky (The High Plains look like empty desert, yet sage and sharptail grouse, plus Huns, thrive there and provide great wingshooting for the venturesome gunner), The Day The Stipers Died (Between his father and the Striped Bass there was a connection stronger than anything, even death), Summer Steelhead (The summer-run members of this species may not get as big as winter fish, but they make up for size with their strength and fighting spirit), A Case For Night Fishermen (Most fishermen ignore the simple axiom that you can’t catch a big fish unless its in the mood to eat – and most big Trout feed after dark), Return Of The Pack Fly Rod (In the past, many pack fly rods were engineered more for travel than for action. But manufacturers are starting to build rods that really work) Your Local Outdoors – A guide to the best hunting and fishing in your area Departments> – Editorial; Cheers & Jeers; Solunar Tables; Hill Country; Books & Comments; Conservation; E.B.
