Traver on Fishing : A Treasury of Robert Traver's Finest Stories and Essays About Fishing for Trout

No one wrote with more warm, down-home affection for fly fishing than the late Robert Traver. He especially loved fishing for his beloved and bejewelled native brook trout on Michigan's Upper Peninsula, mostly on what he called "Frenchman's Pond," near Ishpeming. The tales he told made two memorable books, "Trout Madness" and "Trout Magic"; text for a brilliant story in photographs ("Anatomy of a Fisherman"); and numerous essays and stories in a wide variety of magazines. His prose gives us, as Arnold Gingrich has said, "that wonderful, relaxed, lazy, unhurried and unflustered, comfortable "old shoe" feeling, page after page". "Traver on Fishing" collects the best that the old judge wrote about his favourite sport - tall tales, strange happenings and true lore, including his famous "Testament of a Fisherman".
