Fishless Days, Angling Nights
by Sparse Grey Hackle
Classic Stories, Reminiscences, and Lore About Fishing and Camping
"Fishless Days, Angling Nights" is a rich and varied treasury of superb stories and articles by the acknowledged Dean of American Fly Fisherman. It memorably records the perils and rewards, the delights and disappointments or a lifetime of sporting days and nights of the stream.
There is a lighthearted philosophy and profound insight into the character of fisherman and campers. There are hilarious pieces such as "Who is Sparse Grey Hackle?" and "The First Camping Trip", and starkly vivid recollections of the terrors of night fishing. Famous fly-fishing stories such as "The Lotus Eaters" and "Murder" are here, along with warm memories of chance meetings along the stream and moving reminiscences of such famed anglers as Edward R. Hewitt and George M.L LaBranche; and there are practical and provocative articles such as "The Perfect Angler" and "Minor Mysteries". Most, perhaps, there is a deeply evocative account of the fun of fishless days.
This is the first trade publication by one of America's outstanding and most respected writers about the great outdoors, whose work has already been honored by in six important angling anthologies. "Fishless Days, Angling Nights" is a book not only for angling enthusiasts but for anyone interested in the very finest writing about the outdoors.
