“Best fishing book ever…”
We all have one. I'm taking names...

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.
