About this title

Synopsis

Here is longtime fly-fishing writer William G. Tapply on the big and small pleasures of fishing, from fly tying, to hunting the big ones. In "Extreme Angling," Tapply dismisses the idea of fly fishing as "The Quiet Sport," with tales of grizzly attacks, rogue logs, and big water. In "Hexed," Tapply finds out that his local stream-overstocked and overfished-offers a lot more than he ever suspected. In "Paying Homage," he describes the mystical joys of the Beaverkill in upstate New York. In "Seven for the Road," he gives readers a peek at some of the most important things he stows in his tackle bag, including the books he carries on every trip.

Included here, too, are: .

There Oughta Be a Law . Coming Unstuck . Playing Guns . Bank Shots . Twiggling . Bass Bugging for Trout . The Gulper Rules . Zen and the Art of Jiggering . Treasure Hunting . A Tale of Two Ponds . Alaska on Our Own . Life List . The Sniper . Eastern Steelhead . The Fish of 1,000 Casts . Selective Perch . The Eternal Debate . The Upside-Down Dun . Flymphs Reconsidered . Tap's Bug . and many more

It's an inspiring collection, from a fisherman whose writing is well known and well respected.
