"George A. Griffith has been a conservation leader in both theory and practice for over half a century. As one of the founding fathers of Trout Unlimited, he has had the opportunity to watch the development of conscious stewardship of our cold water resources grow from a tiny circle of dedicated individuals into the powerful and effective voice of the 1990's that Trout Unlimited has become. For the love of trout is the story of how it began, the frustrations, the setbacks, the successes, and the growth. The book is the result of over fifty years of pure dedication and hard work and is the historical treatise of one of our nation's most dynamic conservation organizations. As you read these memoirs, think of what the condition of our waterways might be today had it not been for the courage and foresight of men such as George A. Griffith."--Jacket.

Rudow's Guide to Fishing the Chesapeake is the most comprehensive handbook for anglers on all of the Chesapeake's waters from main-stem bay to tributaries and tidal creeks. Detailed charts feature over 550 boating hot spots and 35 public shoreline fishing spots, plus 33 reliable public boat ramps. Specific bay sportfish and the most effective methods of catching them during each phase of the season are meticulously discussed on a fish-by-fish basis, as are both modern and traditional tackle and rigs. Never before has a fishing guide tackled each aspect of angling the Chesapeake Bay so thoroughly. Topics are as varied as casting for spring trophy rockfish on the Susquehanna Flats, jigging for seatrout at the Bay Bridge, wire-lining for flounder at the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, and ice fishing for perch in Port Deposit are all covered in depth. There are even sections on shoreline fishing for each area of the Chesapeake. If you want to boost your catch rate every time you fish the bay, this book will help you do it.

Winner of the 1999 Paterson Poetry Prize Over the past decade, Billy Collins has emerged as the most beloved American poet since Robert Frost, garnering critical acclaim and broad popular appeal. Annie Proulx admits, "I have never before felt possessive about a poet, but I am fiercely glad that Billy Collins is ours." John Updike proclaims his poems "consistently startling, more serious than they seem, they describe all the worlds that are and were and some others besides." This special, limited edition celebrates Billy Collins's years as U.S. Poet Laureate. Picnic, Lightning—one of the books that helped establish and secure his reputation and popularity during the 1990s—combines humor and seriousness, wit and sublimity. His poems touch on a wide range of subjects, from jazz to death, from weather to sex, but share common ground where the mind and heart can meet. Whether reading him for the first time or the fiftieth, this collector's edition is a must-have for anyone interested in the poet the New York Times calls simply "the real thing."
