American field writers have their say about Nick & Gourmetfly. . . Jim Fergus "There is no country in the world with a more venerable tradition of fly fishing than France, and no more elegant fishing experience available than that provided by Nick. And in addition to fine fishing in beautiful countryside, I'll put Nick's streamside picnic lunch up against that of any other outfitter on earth." Jim Fergus has been a Field Editor and monthly columnist for Outdoor Life and Sports Afield. His work has appeared in numerous sporting publications, including Fly Fisherman, Esquire Sportsman, and Gray's Sporting Journal. He is the author of two noted nonfiction books on the outdoor life, A Hunter's Road, and The Sporting Road, as well as two novels, "One thousand white women" and "The wild girl" Guy de la Valdène "Whenever I am in France I make a point of fishing or hunting with Nick who has an impressive repertoire of facts relating to the French countryside, trout fishing and woodcock hunting. He hunts over a great French Brittany spaniel and is as charming as only a Frenchman can be. You will not be disappointed". Guy de la Valdène is a lifelong hunter and wild-game gourmet, who has traveled the globe on expeditions with world class sportsmen, Guy lives on an 800 acres farm outside Talahassee. He is the author of two nonfiction books on American gamebirds, Making game, an essay on woodcock, and For a handful of feathers, the complete treatise about bobwhite (classic southern) quail. Guy has also published the novel Red Stag, and is working on a new book about Hungarian partridge on the American continent. Mark D. Williams There are giveaways, tells to an outdoorsman. The way his eyes are searching, always looking off in the distance, the paced effortless walk, the attention to detail or at least the details that need attention, a treasury of stories and facts, grace around a camp and a contented heart. That’s Nick. He elegantly fits in the woods and on the rivers of France as much as woodocks and farios. Nick provides an outdoors experience not to be missed. He knows more about trout fishing western Europe than anyone else I know.
Mark D. Williams has written five books including the Trout Fishing Sourcebook and Freshwater Tips from the Pros, and has written on the outdoors, travel and team sports for numerous magazines and newspapers over the years including SPORT, Men's Health, Backpacker, ESPN and Dallas Morning News. He is currently finishing up his latest book, Where in the World to Fish: 1001 of the Greatest Places on Earth to Fish, for Harper Collins (and Nick makes a few appearances in the book, by the way.)
ERNEST HEMINGWAY Hélas ! No word posted by Ernest Hemingway ! Just a word about him... and me. This website was launched on the centennial of Hemingway's birthday as a tribute to a great way of life, an amazing talent to find the world's outstanding places and a unique capacity to enjoy the simple pleasures of the outdoors everywhere. Ernest M. Hemingway has written several books featuring fishing or hunting scenes in Europe. He fished the Irati near Pamplona in The Sun also rises, and shot ducks near Venice in Across the river and into the trees. Hemingway & son Jack (Bumby in the Moveable feast) were members of the Fario-Club created by Charles C. Ritz in the 50's. Most of his favorite places like the Cafe Iruña in Pamplona, Botin in Madrid, La Pepica in Valencia, the Closerie des Lilas in Paris or Cipriani in Venice remain places of pilgrimage and emotion. |
