The One that Got Away
By: Raines, Howell
Published by: SCRIBNER
"Lost fish," writes Howell Raines, "chasten us to the knowledge that we are all, in each and every moment, dwindling. Imagine my surprise when I discovered well into my sixth decade that losing fish can prepare us for a blessing as well as for pain."
Confronting loss -- of an elusive fish or something larger -- is at the heart of The One That Got Away, the graceful sequel to Raines's much-loved, bestselling memoir Fly Fishing Through the Midlife Crisis, published to great acclaim in 1993. With the same winning combination of reminiscences, anecdotes, philosophy and fishing lore, his bold new memoir covers the eventful years in this latest passage of his life, and the realization that in relinquishing his former identity as a newspaperman he has actually gotten what he wanted, just in the most unlikely way.

Still Life with Brook Trout
By: Gierach, John
Published by: S&S Ebooks
John Gierach returns with another book-length rumination on fishing, covering everything from fishing the high country to fishing with friends vs. going solo to the enduring appeal of the fishing vest in the high-tech age to dozens more topics that will appeal to fishermen everywhere. A few of Gierach's wise and witty observations:. "You can't expect to hit it dead on with every trip -- although that does happen now and then -- but there are usually fish and if you pay attention and bear down a little, you usually catch some. And when a trip really does go in the crapper, as one will eventually, you are still somehow fulfilling your destiny as a fisherman, and that's bound to be for the best.". "I had gotten myself past the expectation of success and into the fisherman's eternal riddles: There are fish in here somewhere, but where? They're in here sometime, but when? They're eating something, but what? If this were a koan -- and I'm not sure it isn't -- it would be: If the salmon cannot be caught, how will you catch him?". "Imagine the first human to conceive of this. He'd have dipped a hook in the water and plucked out a fish. People wouldn't have believed him, so he'd have shown them and it would have seemed like magic. Some days it still does.". No one describes the magic of fishing better than John Gierach, and no one writes more magically about the subject.

By: Tosches, Rich
Published by: Perigee

Armed with a rod, a pen, and an eccentric sense of humor, Pulitzer Prize-nominated sportswriter Rich Tosches headed for the Grand Teton Mountains, site of the World Fly Fishing Championship, and cast a keen eye on his fellow trollers from all over the globe. This encounter-and many others during a lifetime dedicated to the pursuit of fly fishing -are captured in a side-splitting collection of observations on every angle-and angler-of one of America's favorite pastimes.
