Bøker av Tom Fuller

This book begins with a detailed section on identifying hatches that will enable anglers to know what they're looking at when they see those bugs on the water. Part II of the book is a complete guide on when and where the major hatches occur. You'll learn about everything from the famous Hex hatch in Michigan to the Hendrickson hatch on the Housatonic. Fuller conveys this detail in charts and in discussion. Finally, Part III is a guide to the flies to use in fishing these hatches-traditional imitations, regional variations, and advice on designing new flies. Every fly angler will benefit from this addition to their arsenal.

The land that became the city of Newberg played a crucial role in the founding of the state of Oregon. It provided the second permanent encampment after Fort Astoria for trappers coming to the Pacific Northwest. Ewing Young came to Oregon in 1834, claiming as his own a vast stretch of land around his home in the Chehalem Valley. When Ewing died without a will, nearby residents gathered to settle Ewing's estate. This event led directly to the vote at Champoeg to make Oregon part of the United States. The town's name was given by pioneer Sebastian Brutscher after his Bavarian hometown of Neuburg. Other settlers arrived, and soon Newberg was a thriving pioneer town. Among the new settlers were members of the Friends Church, who set up an academy that is today one of the premier Christian universities in the country. Newberg was also home or way station to two U.S. presidents.
