This superbly presented collection of fishing stories will set the listener sailing on the Loch or along the Thames and tracking down sharks or carp in many exciting waterways.
You will find memories, essays, true stories, and fishing accounts more or less exaggerated or imagined. Their authors and their editor, Nick Lyons, all share a communicable passion for a great day out fishing—a passion only surpassed by the love of telling the tale with or without the catch to show!With work by more than one hundred of the world's most eminent authors and fishermen, including John McPhee, Howell Raines, Ted Leeson, Jimmy Carter, Lefty Kreh, Dave Barry, Norman Maclean, and Rudyard Kipling.

Title: âBest Fishing Stories...â is a stretch.
Review: This book is more of a history lesson on fishing with some stories. Lots of fly fishing. Not really what I was expecting.

Title: For those who love to fish!
Review: This is a fine compilation of writing about the wonderful pastime of fishing. There are so many different aspects to fishing and the pleasures to be derived from fishing, and this anthology offers skilled anglers and skilled authors who delve deep in the literary waters to pull up their slippery prey. Byron, Kipling, and de Maupassant are joined by many other contributors, some famed and some simply fine, to make this a varied feast. Different fish, different streams, rivers, lakes, and oceans, different fishermen--but always the excitement of the game, the lure of the outdoors, and the triumph of the catch (or the catching tales of the one that slipped away unscathed)--are offered here for your enjoyment. Highly recommended!
