I do recommend reading Raines books even though I don't agree with him especially on politics. His fishing book, actually titled "Fly Fishing Through the Mid-Life Crisis", I retitled after reading, "Fly Fishing Toward a Mid-Life Crisis". was quite revealing as a memoir, as it showed a man that was destined to end a marriage beginning with his honeymoon. Authors such as Bro. Raines show the diversity of the fly fishing brotherhood of the angle. His politics really come across and his rancor and despite toward his native South are evident. More later.
