“Best fishing book ever…”
We all have one. I'm taking names...
Ninety-two in the Shade, by Thomas McGuane. "the finest fishing novel ever written, with the possible exception of Moby-Dick" - Paul Quarrington, Toronto Globe & Mail
The Joys of Trout, by Arnold Gingrich. "What a great book to read." - Pastor Caster, FlyAnglers.org

Curtis Creek Manifesto, by Sheridan Anderson. "...hands-down the best book I’ve found to learn about the basics of fishing." - Kim Jackson, Albany Democrat-Herald
