The Joys of Trout, by Arnold Gingrich. "What a great book to read." - Pastor Caster, FlyAnglers.org
The Habit of Rivers: Reflections on Trout Streams and Fly Fishing, by Ted Leeson. "I find myself coming back to...'Habit of Rivers' quite a bit...Extremely well written book." - sculpin1, Fly Fisherman forum
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.
