"The Year of the Angler" and "The Year of the Trout" have long been
underground classics, the kind of books used-book sellers can't
keep in stock, the ones its owners won't loan out. Now they're back
in print, under one cover.
Arnold Gingrich, the fly-fishing maven and editor of" Esquire,"
ranked Steve Raymond with the great fishing writers, and Gingrich
knew writers and good writing. So great is its reputation, that a
copy of "The Year of the Angler" was presented to the White House
by the American Booksellers Association.
Raymond fishes Western waters, particularly the Northwest. Here are
accounts of adventures on the Hoh, the Duwamish, the North Fork of
the Stillaguamish, the Hanford Reach of the Columbia, Pass Lake,
and Columbia Basin Pond. Here, too, are affectionate portraits of
the great fish of those waters, the sea-run cutthroat, salmon,
steelhead, rainbow, and brown trout.
And solid advice on catching them. Raymond tells stories, too, of
men like John Huelsdonk, the Iron Man of the Hoh, who killed one
hundred cougars.
As much as it is a book about fish and rivers, it is also a book
about life, about the passage of time, the seasons, man and his
place in the environment, family, pain and pleasure. Truly a
classic, The Year of the Angler and the Year of the Trout will find
a place on every serious angler's shelf, if only to replace one
imprudently loaned to a friend.
