Reviews

Michael Levy The Buffalo News I am blown away...The best book of armchair angling to hit the shelves in years. Jim Lehrer The News Hour, PBS Here's a book about fishing for people who do not fish...That's because its real subject is people. Elizabeth Grossman Chicago Tribune An enlightening glimpse into the world of piscatorial pleasures and what evokes such passion in its enthusiasts. Christopher Camuto Gray's Sporting Journal Through his travels, Louv becomes a kind of Studs Terkel of the fishing world...Makes me proud to be an American.
