Fishing the Northwest: An Angler's Reader
Category: Sports: Fishing
Author: Glen Love
Copyright/published Year: 2000 by Oregon State
ISBN: 0870714813
Binding: Cloth
Fishing the Northwest collects stories and essays by
twenty-two of the best angling writers in the region. Veteran
flyfisher Glen Love has combed the vast literature on angling to
create an exciting blend of subjects and styles that puts readers
in the water next to fishing authors of great renown as well as
noteworthy newer voices. Included are famous early writers like
Zane Grey, who frequented Northwest rivers, and Roderick
Haig-Brown, who defined angling literature for the region. Also
spotlighted is a new wave of excellent writing that has exploded
in the Northwest over the past two decades, calling on a host of
gifted authors like Ted Leeson and Jessica Maxwell--one of
several women who prove that it's no longer just a man's
preserve.
The book ranges from Alaska to the Rogue River in southern Oregon, the Olympic Mountains and Vancouver Island to the Continental Divide in Montana. From the advice of angling eminence Enos Bradner to the spirited fiction of Ken Kesey, from Robin Carey's account of getting acquainted with a new river to Lorian Hemingway's first fly-fishing adventure, this is the ultimate reader for anyone who, in Norman Maclean's famous words, is "haunted by waters."
