J.H. Hall has been fishing most of his life and fly-fishing Maine rivers and ponds for over thirty years. In his book, he has brought together some of his favorite fly-fishing experiences that go beyond morning excursions on a river's banks. He uses his fishing trips as the platform to introduce the reader to the people and the rivers that color his life and Maine, bringing all of us engaging life lessons and new experiences.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Delightful and instructive,
This review is from: True Stories of Maine Fly Fishermen (Paperback)
Mr. Hall always has a point to make in each of the sketches. But it is always subtle, difficult to summarize, and appears gradually as the incident unfolds, emeerging from the interaction of character, opinion, orneriness, colorful local speech, and the lore of the sport he loves.
He has evidently chosen a certain way to spend his time (fish bum), and though some more dedicated to the Protestant Ethic may quarrel, here the grasshopper of the parable clearly has a song to sing and music to make. Can one find fault with that?

A wonderful book just in time for those nights at camp,

This review is from: True Stories of Maine Fly Fishermen (Paperback)
Hall is a great writer and I have loved his previous books. This new book is every bit as good, and a delight to read especially as another fishing season opens before us. These are great stories sensitively written and a treat for non-fishermen as well.
And, as if to invite everyone to the sport of fly fishing, Hall has put a neophyte on the cover -- note his low back-cast. A wonderful subtlety, as is his writing. Don't miss this one! Michael LaCombe Augusta, Maine
