Review
Sponsored by the habitat conservation group Trout Unlimited, The Gift of Trout is an unabashed celebration of trout and the wild places they call home. It is also an anthology of angling's first-rate writing. As editor Ted Leeson explains in his introduction, "This book celebrates trout by attempting to decipher the shorthand--to explore in the work of some of angling's best writers the abundance and variety of contexts that create the trout angler's world."
From the Back Cover
John Gierach, Thomas McGuane, David Quammen, Roderick Haig-Brown, David James Duncan, Harry Middleton, Paul Schullery - these are just a few of the memorable authors whose best essays grace this rich celebration of the "the gift of trout."The selections range from a section on "Early American Trout Fishing" to "Can Fly Fishing Survive the Twenty-first Century?" Mixed into the rich stew are such treats as "First Native" (David James Duncan), "Walk on Water for Me" (Lorian Hemingway), "Big Water" (a poem by John Engels), "Midstream" (Thomas McGuane), and an updated version of Robert Berls's important survey of the best in modern American fly-fishing literature, "Sudden Spate: A New Celebration of Fresh, Literate Books About Trout Fishing," which originally appeared in Trout Unlimited's Trout magazine. (6 1/4 X 9 1/4, 196 pages, illustrations)
