<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Originally published in 1954, <i>Fisherman's Winter</i> is Roderick Haig-Brown's final installment in his well-known "seasons" cycle. With a unique blend of experience and observation, Haig-Brown brings readers through the exotic rivers of South America in the winter months, showing rather than explaining the many things he encounters. <p/>Rather than writing about typical winter fishing, Haig-Brown departs from British Columbia, where the other titles in his seasons cycle take place, and heads to unknown rivers in South America, where he learns as much as his readers will. Fishing a "second summer," Haig-Brown inhabits Argentina and Chile, where five- and six-pound trout are abundant in the streams of the Andes. The many chapters on fishing in South America include: <p/>The Lake of Big Rainbows<br>The Laja River<br>Some Incidental Things<br>Farm, Forest, and River<br>Lago Maihue and the Calcurrupe<br>The Beach of the Deer<br>Rivers of the Pampas<br>The Trout and Salmon of South America<br>Some Birds of Southern Chile and Argentina<br>Some Trees and Plants of Southern Chile<br>And much more! <p/>Since Haig-Brown's revolutionary fishing journey to South America, one that few anglers had dreamed of before this, many flyfishermen since have fished their own second summers on the fresh, cold rivers found there. Let this guide be your own tour of the wondrous rivers and streams of the Southern Hemisphere. <p/>Skyhorse Publishing is proud to publish a broad range of books for fishermen. Our books for anglers include titles that focus on fly fishing, bait fishing, fly-casting, spin casting, deep sea fishing, and surf fishing. Our books offer both practical advice on tackle, techniques, knots, and more, as well as lyrical prose on fishing for bass, trout, salmon, crappie, baitfish, catfish, and more. While not every title we publish becomes a <i>New York Times</i> bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to publishing books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked by other publishers and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>"One of the 20th century's most talented angling writers."--<i>New York Times</i></b> <p/><b>Haig-Brown is a talented flyfisherman who is also gifted with an uncommon sense and sensibility.--<i>The New Yorker</i></b> <p/>Originally published in 1954, <i>Fisherman's Winter</i> is fly fisherman Roderick Haig-Brown's final installment in his well-known "seasons" cycle (<i>Fisherman's Spring, Fisherman's Summer, Fisherman's Fall</i>). <p/>Here he writes not about his home waters, but about the waters in Chile and Argentina he visited when his Canadian home was too cold to fish. <p/>He writes about legendary waters that most will never fish--Trancura, Liucura, Fui, Enco, and San Pedro, Malleo. Chimehuin, and more. But the spirit of angling, the joy of casting a fly rod, and the level of writing is one that every fly fisherman will cherish. <p/>As Nick Lyons writes in his introduction to this edition, "Like many flyfishers after him, and a few before, he found in his travels new challenges and new rewards. He found summer worlds and some remarkable fishing far from his Canadian winter--and new wildlife, a different landscape, and rivers beyond his expectations."<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Haig-Brown is a talented flyfisherman who is also gifted with an uncommon sense and sensibility.<br><br>"Haig-Brown is a talented flyfisherman who is also gifted with an uncommon sense and sensibility."<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Roderick L.
