Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
Well-known nature and conservation writer Ted Williams is an avid fisherman who has devoted many years to writing about the sport and advocating the preservation of bodies of water and species of fish. Here, he brings together his love of angling with his profound sense of responsibility for the environment. Most of the work in this anthology is adapted from articles originally published in Audubon and Fly Rod & Reel (where Williams is conservation editor), and these lively, perceptive pieces take readers across the United States and around the world: trout fishing in Patagonia; bonefishing on South Andros Island in the Bahamas; and tuna fishing off the coast of Massachusetts. Williams’ passion and commitment will inspire fishermen everywhere.

4 out of 5 stars Hard-hitting, deeply researched essays for environmentalists   July 19, 2008
In Something's Fishy, Ted Williams writes passionately of the outdoors, his hard-hitting essays skewering those who would thoughtlessly strip of us our remaining recreational and commercial fisheries.

I've long admired Williams for his uncompromising approach; at a time when hook and bullet journalism is plunging to new lows, Williams bucks the trend towards lightweight outdoor reporting, laying bare corruption and greed with the skill of a surgeon.

His deeply researched pieces are powerfully written, and he takes special pleasure in letting despoilers hang themselves with their own words.

Williams is also no shrinking violet when it comes to environmental groups; he lays into several for opposing the recovery of native fish populations.

Something's Fishy is not lighthearted reading - if you don't get a little angry at a few of his essays, then check your pulse; you might be dead.

While the bulk of the book is composed of journalistic essays, Williams sprinkles in a few more lighthearted essays showcasing his power as an outdoor writer.

In short, it's a book that's well worth buying, if only to keep writers like Williams at the keyboard. I once said that Ted Williams (writing in Fly Rod & Reel and Audubon) did more for fisheries than all the other fishing and hunting magazines combined.

Someting's Fishy is ample proof that my statement wasn't entirely rhetorical.
