Product Description
Here is great angling writing from the best writers in the business—from Tom McGuane to John McPhee to Lefty Kreh. With proceeds going to FishAmerica, to help keep waters and fish healthy, and the Future Fisherman Foundation for education programs for children, these articles include Joan Wulff’s look at the stages in an angler’s lifetime; John McPhee’s passage on our country’s “Founding Fish”–the American Shad; Dave Barry's not-so-reverent take on fishing; Dave DiBenedetto on migrating stripers; Monte Burke on record bass; President Jimmy Carter on his youth; and Ted Williams on the environment. And there are many more, every one a joy to read.

Great tales of fishing!! December 19, 2007 This collection of Fishing tales hits on everything that is great about fishing. The sights, sounds, memories, all of it! Reading these stories stirred up so many of my own forgotten fishing tales that I wanted to rush out, and rediscover my love of the lure. It is such a good read.
A great collection by great writers April 5, 2007 This is a wonderful collection with some of my favorite fishing writers. I loved this book.
