? about Marinaro's "In the Ring of the Rise"

[Jim Flamming]

Maybe JC knows the answer to this one...

If anyone out there has a copy of the 2001 softbound edition of "Ring of the Rise" published by Lyons Press could you please answer a question for me. The original edition of the book was published in 1976 by Crown Publishers. Is the 2001 edition an updated version, or just a reprint of the original version? Does it make any difference which version I read or purchase? Do the newer versions have any more or any updated info in them?

You might email the publisher and ask if there are any differences.

I have the softbound Lyons reprint and it appears to be the 1976 edition imprinted with no additions or updates. All of the material is from 1976 or earlier. There is no forward or afterword to indicate this is anything but a reprint of the original. If you would like to see it I could post it up to you in GR but then I would have to meet you at your honeyhole to retrieve the book and see if you have indeed put in the requisite time studying the contents and practice what Marinaro preaches...say over at Coldwater River or Thornapple or ?

mcsteff - Thanks, that's the info I was lookin for. For some reason the 2001 edition is going for a lot more money than the 1976 editions. So I will pick up a copy, either from Glenn Blackwood's shop or online.

Hey we can fish whenever brother! The Flat had been fishing nice for smallies, and some reliable sources have been telling me that the Coldwater has been ON FIRE this year! We can fish it now for trout, it often is colder than the North Branch of the AuSable most of the summer (excluding rain events). Of course, I haven't fished it yet this year, but that is another story. It is supposed to get a nice caddis hatch in October, and if I keep chipping away at it, I may be done with my Driggs River by then. We can go wave some cane around then, but if you'd like, we can also go sooner. I have been trying to get together with Rainbowchaser up on the White since last fall, but that has just been a pathetic mess... never seems to work out. Just gotta keep askin and eventually these things work out.
