Description
A collection of true-life fishing tales about big catches, bright seas, and the one that got away—from John Updike, Phil Caputo, Jim Harrison, and others. Anyone who appreciates a good story can appreciate the infinite resource that is the sport of fishing. This collection represents the very best stories about fishing to appear in Field & Stream throughout its 120-year history. It includes writers old and new, with tales infamous and unknown. A fishing story is, in the end, not about catching fish. What matters is the quest, the company, and the challenge. Here you’ll find stories of deep insight, incredible drama, and delightful humor from the likes of Bill Heavey, Zane Gray, Eddie Nickens, Ian Frazier, Kim Barnes, Thomas McGuane, and many others.
