I’m hitting the road this week in search of future features for Trout Fisherman. One day, I may just get the hang of blogging-on-the-move but until I do, Taunted By Waters goes into auto-pilot mode until I return next Monday.
At least it gives me the chance to clear my backlog of ‘pending’ material, some of which, I have to say, looks rather more esoteric than it did when I bookmarked it…

So Britain doesn’t have the Grand Canyon, Great Lakes or Mount Rushmore: we don’t have black flies quite like this either and by the sound of it, we should gladly accept the trade-off. Here’s the anglers’ view of this little charmer…
“If you have never fished amidst a cloud of these bloody insects and suffered the welts and sometimes infected bites for a week afterward you are missing something that will make you long for mosquitoes”

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
About Me
Taunted By Waters is what Trout Fisherman features editor Jeffrey Prest gets up to between salary negotiations.
Much as he'd like the credit for this play on the famous last words in A River Runs Through It, the real hero is Hannah Nordhaus, who coined the phrase in an article on her first try at flyfishing, for Rocky Mountain News. This blog is dedicated to her. The good bits, anyway.
