After having read Howell Raines book "Fly-Fishing Toward a Mid-Life Crisis", I was provoked by the good ole Alabama boy's thorough disgust for our 31'st president to look into what he actually stood for and did. So first of all I looked up a small book by him written shortly before his death. "Fishing for Fun and to Wash your Soul" is far more down to earth than Raines book and I do believe that should you go to the trouble to look the book up you will be rewarded with a good read, without all the put-downs that you find in our more modern author with a political agenda attached to his fishing. Now I have settled into reading "Hoover The Fishing President" by Hal Elliott Wert. So far an excellent book. Hoover doesn't seem to be the man everyone wanted to portray him as. Anyone else read either of these?
