This well illustrated handbook offers handy hints for the eager
bait-fisherman: where to find bait, how to catch it, how to prepare
it, and when to use which kind.
This is an eastern guidebook on how to catch various types of
shellfish from the Atlantic.
Though he made his name and his fortune as an author of Western
novels, Zane Grey's best writing has to do with fishing. There he
was free from the conventions of the Western genre and the
expectations of the market, and he was able to blend his talent for
narrative with his keen eye for detail and humor, much of it
self-deprecating, into books and articles that are both informative
and exciting. His first published fishing article appeared in 1902,
and he continued to write books and articles on angling until his
death in 1939. From the trout streams and bass rivers of the East
to the steelhead rivers of the Northwest; from the offshore angling
of Nova Scotia and California to the unexplored waters of New
Zealand and the South Sea islands, Grey was constantly in motion,
sometimes fishing three hundred days a year, always writing to
support his passion. At one time or another he held more than a
dozen saltwater records, yet he always returned from the big game
to the freshwater streams he had learned to love as a boy. This
book is a selection of some of Grey's best work, and the stories
and excerpts reveal a man who understood that angling is more than
an activity-it is a way of seeing, a way of being more fully a part
of the natural world. No writer exceeds Zane Grey's ability to
integrate the fishing experience with a world he saw so vividly.
