Acclaimed sporting and adventure writer Charles Gaines has spent
much of his life on the water, around the world, fishing rod in
hand, angling for trout, redfish, salmon, bonefish, bass, marlin,
tuna, and practically everything else that swims. Just about any
place where there's water to fish and eccentrics to keep him
company, Gaines has been. The Next Valley Over, a collection of his
best writing on fishing from his long and storied career, is culled
from the pages of Men's Journal, Forbes, and Sports Afield, among
other publications, and ultimately is about the heart of the sport.
While his stories are lined with the accoutrement of angling--the
art of technique, the equipment, the lodges, the fish
themselves--they're really about why we love to fish and what it
means to our culture. As Thoreau once said: "Many men go fishing
all their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are
after." What "they are after" is what Charles is curious about, and
he has devoted the better part of his life and sanity to coming up
with answers. Starting and ending at the majestic Lake Tadpole in
St. Clair County, Alabama, where Gaines's love of fishing was
initially sparked, the Next Valley Over chronicles exploits in
exotic locations with eccentric characters. In the process of his
quest of nearly every species known to man, Gaines explores what we
are really searching for when we fish.
