Fly Fishing
Fly fishing is an angling technique that uses an ultra-lightweight lure called an artificial fly, which typically mimics small invertebrates such as flying and aquatic insects to attract and catch fish. Because the mass of the fly lure is insufficient to overcome air resistance, it cannot be launched far using conventional gears and techniques, so specialized tackles are used instead and the casting techniques are significantly different from other forms of angling. It is also very common for the angler to wear waders, carry a hand net, and stand in the water when fishing. Fly fishing primarily targets predatory fish that have significant amount of very small-sized prey in their diet, and can be done in fresh or saltwater. North Americans usually distinguish freshwater fishing between cold-water species (trout, salmon) and warm-water species (notably black bass). In Britain, where natural water temperatures vary less, the distinction is between game fishing for trout ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ann Kipling
Ann Kipling L.L.D (1934 August30, 2023) was a Canadian artist who created impressionistic portraits and landscapes in drawings and prints on paper from direct observation. Kipling's distinctive style of overlapping, temporally suggestive linework was formed through her working process, which involved drawing her subject over time, recording subtle shifts in movement in the sitter or landscape during that period. Her work is characterized by a flat sense of space, where lines are used to frame a vibrating and gestural idea of her subject, rather than a direct representation of form. While not directly connected to any art movement in particular, connections can be made to Chinese landscape painters and the watercolours of Paul Cézanne. Using colour minimally, her primary media was etching, drawing, watercolours, pen, pencil, pastels and pencil crayons. She lived and worked in Falkland, BC, a location which serves as a focus for her landscapes. Early life and education From 195 ...
