Review
>From fishing camps to fish stories, Ralph Kylloe's Fishing Camps is a must-have for any reader who is drawn to the romance and mystique of fishing. Several varieties of fishing are covered including large-mouth bass, rainbow trout,northern pike, and muskie. Fishing Camps transports the reader to fishing camps all over North America with experiences as varied as encountering a rattlesnake while fly-fishing in Colorado, battling king salmon in Vancouver, coming face-to-face with a full-grown alligator in Florida's Lake Okeechobee, and fighting the aggressive muskie in New York. In addition, Fishing Camps provides valuable information about several camps for aspiring fishermen. Along with complete address and phone information, Fishing Camps describes the camps, their food services and sleeping accommodations, entertainment (besides fishing), and the decor and ambiance of each specific camp. Fishing Camps is ideal reading for anyone wanting the feel of a rod and reel and a wiley fish on the line! -- Midwest Book Review

This review is from: Fishing Camps (Hardcover)
As I turned the pages of this book, I found myself longing for the days when my primary concerns were to get bait and tackle together and get to my favorite fishing spot before anyone else got there. A quick stop to grab practically any type of food that would curb our appetites until dinner and we were on the way! It's a known fact that you fish harder when you're hungry, but if you failed to catch dinner, you could always buy some cheese and crackers at the camp store, where conversation was animated and lies were a dime a dozen.
