Anglers are meditative by nature and patient in their pursuits. They are united by a love of colorful fishing lore and the great outdoors. The Angler's Book of Daily Inspiration combines practical advice, folk wisdom, and motivational thoughts for lovers of this solitary and often frustrating sport. Contributors include Mark Twain, Ernest Hemingway, Norman MacLean, John Gierach, and others. Each of the 366 entries features an inspirational quotation, a discussion of a related topic, and an affirmation to put into practice for better fishing every day of the year.
