Fine Reading



I know it's into the fishing season for many of us and much of our time is being spent on the waters we love. But there are those times, like lunch break, or time out from our demanding work schedules to take a few minutes to refresh our minds and put things back into focus. "Joe and Me" by James Prosek tells of a relationship by an older game warden and a youngster. It's a friendship that grows by showing each ones love of the outdoors.
"Tight Lines" is a journal of The Yale Anglers. Its many entries tell of some wonderful happenings of a group of scholar anglers. There is one entry that I found to be outstanding. "The Lost Striper". If you have the chance to read the books I'm sure you will find them worth reading.

  3. One must always find time to read. Personally I'm reading 3 books at the same time. One downstairs, one upstairs, and one on MP-3 in the truck while I'm driving.

    The art work is exceptional, haven't read the book; this will have to be one of my winter projects. Thanks for sharing
