Fly Fisher's Reader

Leonard M. Wright has compiled a wonderfully varied collection featuring works from such prominent figures as fly fishing legend Sparse Grey Hackle and novelist Thomas McGuane, along with some heretofore hidden talent. The stories represent a wide range of quarry and locales, from a vivid report on Canadian rainbow trout by a twenty-one-year-old Ernest Hemingway to William Humphrey's The Spawning Run--the classic novelette on Welsh salmon fishing. Nick Lyons, Robert Traver, and Russell Chatham among others provide us with distinctly American humor and insights on bass, trout, and the pursuit thereof from quiet Northeastern creeks to the bustling San Francisco Bay.Wright, Leonard M., Jr. is the author of 'Fly Fisher's Reader' with ISBN 9780671682064 and ISBN 0671682067.
