Careful, You Might Get Hooked. February 28, 2002
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Just enough taste of Traver's life and philosophy to make you want more. You get a picture of a self-effacing man who downplays his professional achievements as well as his fly-fishing mastery. Although he frequently laments that he wasted his life fishing in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, you discover he was a successful district attorney, defense attorney, and state supreme court justice as well as a best-selling fiction author (Anatomy of a Murder). While he downplays his abilities as a fisherman, you learn he gave public flycasting demonstrations that brought the audience to their feet. Makes you yearn to be one of the boys who gather at Frenchman's pond for a warm summer day of brown trout on dry flies with long, thin leaders, followed by a night of cribbage and whisky sours from a tin cup. Traver will teach you as much about life as about fishing, and make you appreciate both more. The technical info on fly-fishing gear was current when Ike was in the White House; but this isn't a how-to fish book, it is a why-to fish book; and I'm glad I discovered it and Robert Traver.

If you are a Robert Traver fan or fly fisher, you will surely enjoy this book. While it recounts several of the stories you
may have read in Trout Magic or Trout Madness, it also offers some of the articles Traver wrote for magazines. In additon,there are a couple of articles which present an interesting background on a truly remarkable man.It does recall the best of Traver on fishing and a wonderful
additon to a fisherman's library.
