Here is great angling writing from the best writers in the business—from Tom McGuane to John McPhee to Lefty Kreh. With proceeds going to FishAmerica, to help keep waters and fish healthy, and the Future Fisherman Foundation for education programs for children, these articles include Joan Wulff’s look at the stages in an angler’s lifetime; John McPhee’s passage on our country’s “Founding Fish”–the American Shad; Dave Barry's not-so-reverent take on fishing; Dave DiBenedetto on migrating stripers; Monte Burke on record bass; President Jimmy Carter on his youth; and Ted Williams on the environment. And there are many more, every one a joy to read.

"Why to fish--not how to fish!",
This review is from: Take Me Fishing: 50 Great Writers on Their Favorite Sport (Hardcover)
Great writing--mostly fly fishing stories about the natural beauty and humor of being out fishing. I strongly recommend this book to fishers and non-fishers alike.
