"One of the 20th century's most gifted angling writers."—The New York Times
Few books have captured the haunting world of music and rivers and of the sport they provide as well as A River Never Sleeps. Roderick L. Haig-Brown writes of fishing not just as a sport, but also as an art. He knows moving water and the life within it—its subtlest mysteries and perpetual delights. He is a man who knows fish lore as few people ever will, and the legends and history of a great sport.
Month by month, he takes you from river to river, down at last to the saltwater and the sea: in January, searching for the steelhead in the dark, cold water; in May, fishing for bright, sea-run cutthroats; and on to the chilly days of October and the majestic run of spawning salmon. All the great joy of angling is here: the thrill of fishing during a thunderstorm, the sight of a river in freshet or a river calm and hushed, the suspense of a skillful campaign to capture some half-glimpsed trout or salmon of extraordinary size, and the excitement of playing and landing a momentous fish.
A River Never Sleeps is one of the enduring classics of angling. It will provide a rich reading experience for all who love fishing or rivers. 24 B&W

Trout Madness was John D. Voelker's (aka, Robert Traver) fifth book (to be followed by his equally popular, Trout Magic). Here, for the delight of his many fans and friends, are twenty-one stories gleaned from the lifetime of glorious fishing - as true as can be expected of a fisherman. They cover the whole range of the trout fishing season, from The First Day ("Entire expedition got half shot and retired in vast disorder") to The Last Day ("Only eight more months to the magic first day"). There are hilarious stories that make one laugh out loud and stories that have an undercurrent of deep emotion. But each one carries that special kind of oblique humor and canniness that were John D. Voelker's special mark. And though this is no "how to" book, the author cannot help divulge in his stories some of the tricks of a lifetime of wily fishing.Here are a few of the stories: "The First Day," "Fish Car," "The Haunted Pond," "Trout Heaven," "The Old and the Proud," "The Old Fox," "Spots Before the Eyes," and "The Last Day." (71/4 X 101/4, 196 pages)

It is said that 10 percent of the fishermen catch 90 percent of the fish. There's no species in Louisiana about which that statement is more true than speckled trout. At times, specks are everywhere and anyone with a rod and reel can catch them. But during most of the year, only the most knowledgeable anglers consistently boat their limits.For this book, Todd Masson interviewed biologists, anglers and experts, who have willingly shared their knowledge with readers. Complete with maps and more than 100 photos, the book contains new insights and never-before-published information about Louisiana's favorite saltwater species.
It's not the lucky anglers who catch the most fish; it's the ones who know the most and best understand the species. This book will, without a doubt, make you a better speckled trout fisherman.

In the summer of 1998, onboard a small boat on an immense and unforgiving sea, Michael Dwyer sails, with seven other crewmen, to Labrador on a turbot fishing expedition. Sea of Heartbreak is a personal account of his experience aboard the Styx, a 65-foot steel trawler, as it makes its way to the highly competitive fishing grounds.Along the way, Dwyer is filled with wonder at the beauty and serenity of being at sea. He observes spectacular sunsets, the dazzling northern lights and majestic icebergs in soft hues of green and blue. The only sound to break the silence is the hypnotic, assuring purr of the main engine. As he soon finds out, however, this sense of security and tranquility is fleeting.
Not only must the Styx navigate its way through the hazards of "Iceberg Alley," but Dwyer must also fight an inner battle as he constantly witnesses the abhorrent waste in the fishing industry. The nets haul in more "garbage" than turbot, and the collector boat rejects most of the turbot that is caught.
Sea of Heartbreak is a vivid and disturbing account of one man's experience of Newfoundland's offshore fishery.
