Trout Culture: How Fly Fishing Forever Changed the Rocky Mountain West (Emil and Kathleen Sick Book Series in Western History and Biography)

Jen Corrinne Brown

4.9/5 (21020 ratings)

Description:From beer labels to literary classics like A River Runs Through It, trout fishing is a beloved feature of the iconography of the American West. But as Jen Brown demonstrates in Trout Culture: How Fly Fishing Forever Changed the Rocky Mountain West, the popular conception of Rocky Mountain trout fishing as a quintessential experience of communion with nature belies the sport�s long history of environmental manipulation, engineering, and, ultimately, transformation.A fly-fishing enthusiast herself, Brown places the rise of recreational trout fishing in a local and global context. Globally, she shows how the European sport of fly-fishing came to be a defining, tourist-attracting feature of the expanding 19th-century American West. Locally, she traces the way that the burgeoning fly-fishing tourist industry shaped the environmental, economic, and social development of the Western United States: introducing and stocking favored fish species, eradicating the less favored native �trash fish,� changing the courses of waterways, and leading to conflicts with Native Americans� fishing and territorial rights. Through this analysis, Brown demonstrates that the majestic trout streams often considered a timeless feature of the American West are in fact the product of countless human interventions adding up to a profound manipulation of the Rocky Mountain environment.https: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKMwEkKj9jgWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
