About this title

Synopsis

Contains a never before published essay, "Trout Flouderers". In these stories, popular Chicago Tribune outdoor columnist Bill Stokes gives himself over to his true passion, trout fishing. It is an activity, possibly a madness, that moves him, time and again, to stand knee-deep in cold and murky waters, offer himself up to clouds of hungry mosquitoes, and attempt to keep from snagging his line in overhanging limbs while trying to outwit a wily rainbow or brook trout. And then remembering where the car is parked. All trout anglers will, like Stephen Born, revel in these evocative and entertaining stories.

Review

I am not a fisherman and was only fishing once in my life, and that when I was about ten years old. (I didn't catch anything.) Bill has a wonderful way of telling a story, making a scene, an event, an incident come alive in such a way that the reader can vividly picture what is going on. Moreover, his word pictures, turns of phrases, sense of irony, understatements (and overstatements) all contribute immensely to making what he writes thoroughly enjoyable and engrossing.
