From Booklist

Just before he died of leukemia in July 2009, Tapply completed this collection of 30 fishing essays, his tenth such collection. The foreword by angling publisher Nick Lyons offers a personal, sporting, and literary biography of Tapply, who will be missed both for his outdoors nonfiction and for his crime fiction. This volume addresses such larger, discursive topics as why people fish as well as recounting adventure fishing for trout, bass, bluegill, striped bass, tarpon, bonefish, and snook. Throughout, Tapply’s ruminations feature his signature self-deprecating humor as well as thoughts on how friends and family make fishing a more rewarding experience. Tapply refers often to classic fishing authors such as Ray Bergman, Harold Blaisdell, and Ed Zern. Sadly, Tapply’s untimely demise means his excellent fishing writing has become “classic” before its time. --John Rowen
