It is no exaggeration to say he is probably the best fly fisherman to have ever fished the lake. Thirteen years ago, he caught and released a 24lb. brown at Almanor. Laid-in is a typed note written by me describing my meeting with Hal and his account of hooking and landing the enormous Brown. This monograph will make you a better stillwater fisherman or fisherwoman. The book is bound in full brown leather with gilt titles on the spine and front cover. A nice book. Fine. Signed by Author.
