STREAMERS ON STEROIDS
by Kelly Galloup

—watch the trailer—

The Next Generation
of Articulated Streamers
with Irresistible Action!

Kelly Galloup has been streamer crazy for decades, well before the release of his game-changing book, Modern Streamers for Trophy Trout. He spent two years working on his newest DVD Streamers on Steroids which takes tying articulated streamers to a new level, and shows us five of his most heralded creations.

BARELY LEGAL • TIPS UP
PEARL NECKLACE • BOOGIE MAN • NANCY P.

These Articulated Streamer Flies all have something special. The alternating layers of the Barely Legal put life deep into the fly. The Tips Up bass-popper tail raises when paused on the retrieve. The Pearl Necklace is a-blaze with new UV materials. The Nancy P. is Kelly’s most lifelike crayfish ever. And the Boogie Man has it all with both wobbles and wiggles.

Learn the right way to tie these streamers from the guy who came up with them. Get Kelly’s insight into how he now makes the connection between the tail and head of the fly. See the materials he incorporates that are revolutionizing the art of tying. Discover what it takes to make a streamer that will fish all day. Don’t study a knock off when you can get the original. Kelly teaches you all the skills and steps needed to craft some of the most deadly big fish streamers ever. DVD; 105-min.; $24.95

FISHING THE RIVER OF TIME
by Tony Taylor

A treasure chest of stories
for lovers of the outdoors,
fans of smart crime fiction,
and, of course, the legions of
Joseph Heywood fans.

At age eighty, Tony Taylor journeys from Sydney, Australia, to British Columbia to fish the Cowichan River with his eight-year-old grandson, Ned. The trip is an opportunity for Tony to return to a landscape that has had a profound effect on his life and his way of thinking, and to share this place with his grandson. As Tony teaches Ned the patient art of fly-fishing, a lifetime of memories, thoughts, and stories unspool in peaceful reflections by the water's edge.

Fishing the River of Time is an elegant meditation on nature, life, and family, written with warmth and wisdom. It inspires self-reflection and an appreciation of the natural world and the fundamentals of our human experience. It is destined to become a classic work of simple living in the mold of Henry David Thoreau's Walden. A book about life and water, and how they intertwine. Softcover; 5.5x8.5 inches, 216 pgs.; $17.95

A superb mix of natural history, biography—and fishing. Not to be missed. —Tim Flannery "

This is a wise book. If you're a fisherman you'll love it, but also if you're a human being. —Bill McKibben

A wise and wonderful book flowing with love for the life of the Earth—human, animal, the great woods, and the deep slow pulse of rock and water. Being about 'something more important than fish,' Tony Taylor's book will delight all who angle for the great and wild things, above all beauty and truth. —Ronald Wright, author of A Short History of Progress

In this simple story of a fishing trip with his grandson, Tony Taylor weaves an enchanting tapestry of memories, thoughts, and knowledge with humor and affection. I was enthralled with Fishing the River of Time from beginning to end. —David Suzuki

I have read perhaps a hundred books on fishing, and a while ago I decided that the topic has been pretty much covered upside down and inside out. I was therefore pleased to discover that Tony Taylor has produced a marvelously fresh and uniquely educational story about fish, rivers, geology, and grandfathers. If you appreciate any of these things, buy this book. —Jake MacDonald, author of In Bear Country

TONY TAYLOR is a former geologist, who strives to live a simple life. He has studied paleontology and igneous petrology, and worked as a scientific officer at the Natural History Museum in London. He has taught at universities in the U.K. and Australia, and helped to create environmental policy in British Columbia. He lives in Sydney, Australia.
