Product Description
In these thirty stories from the great outdoors, Bob Scammell bring us up to date on what he and his zany outdoors buddies have been up to since last we saw them in the award-winning and best-selling Good Old Guys, Alibis and Outright Lies. More of the same zaniness, it seems, but now with a heavy emphasis on exposing secrets lurking in the dark woods and deep waters. In the title essay, we learn how to take those essential hero-shots of an angler with a fish. Later, we learn priceless lessons about how to survive wild mushrooms, how to fly fish for cougars and even how to fall in the water-but do it gracefully.
Bob Scammell also takes us on an hysterical expedition to find the elusive Frenchman's Creek and learn why those TV fishing shows are actually pornographic. He answers really hard questions, such as "How does you find a real outdoors rig in these days of plush SUVs?" and "How does one custom-design a fitness program for outdoors pursuits?" With a veteran sportsman's insight, How to Grip 'n' Grin nets a lively collection of stories bound to tickle the funny bones of anglers and hunters everywhere.
