Over My Waders

Introduction
Much has been written concerning the varied aspects of the "Contemplative Sport".
In these pages I will add to the burden a few words that I hope come from serious contemplation by streamside and are not just errant bubbles from leaky waders.

"The New Scientific Angling - Trout and Ultraviolet Vision"

Buy it now through  Amazon.com 

Trout see a world invisible to man -- the world of ultraviolet light.
You can now meet them in that world. Through abundant photographs and clear text the author illuminates the remarkable distinctions between the vision of man and the broader vision of trout, revealing for the first time flies, fly tying materials, and insects in both visible light and reflected ultraviolet light.

In this groundbreaking work, the author presents recent scientific discoveries in the understanding of trout vision and illustrates how these discoveries benefit the discerning scientific angler.

Filled with hundreds of visible light and UV reflectance photos, as well as line drawings by Eric Reaves and insightful, if not illuminating, comments by Overmywaders, The New Scientific Angling - Trout and Ultraviolet Vision brings a new world of light to life.

The Contemplative Angler
The Contemplative Angler provides, I hope, some refuge from the mundane. It has a collection of short essays, some editorializing, and some humor. Chortles, guffaws, and harrumphs are appropriate and welcome.
