My Hiatus
Sorry for the long pause between posts. I’m in Washington at the moment, working with Jason to put the last touches on the first book–Fishing the Film–in our 20 book series on Fly Fishing. Our optimism at having the fist book completed and out by this time was a bit short sighted. Not so much because we ran into problems with writing and other major details, but because a 20 book series takes much more planning that simply doing 20 books. We have to look at the entire set as if it were one long book, and place the information accordingly. That done, we’ve had to develop a whole new set of illustration concepts and layout protocalls. Jason has shouldered the greatest part of this burden, as series editor, illustrator, book designer, and layout artist. The good news is that the process is complete and the book is only a few days away from heading to the printers. The remainder of the books will all fall within the same design, illustration, layout parameters established by this first book, and the flow will be much faster and easier. expect the books at 4 a year once this first one hits the presses.
In fact, I have finished Reading Waters, and it will go into the layout mill this month. The third book, Long Flies is in process and will be written by the end of August, The fourth book, “The Predatory Angler” is in the final planning stages and portions have been written already. The series marches on. Watch fro blog notes and excerpts as the books takes shape.
In that regard, there’s a story newly posted from Long Flies just below.
I will be fishing in Montana in the following week and will post on successes and failures, etc.
Hi! I have been teaching my friends how to fly fish and I was just wondering where I can get your full collection of videos. I looked around and found a small selection on the net and I know you have produced many. Id be happy to buy all of them if I only knew where to look. Many thanks! KEEP EM COMING!!! Sincearly JDB.
Jason and I are in the process of re-editing our legacy videos and transferring them all to DVDs. Watch this site for more info. All my best,
