    Default Great reads, what's on your night stand?

    I have been reading two books from my collection,

    the Seasons of a fisherman by Roderick L. Haig-Brown

    and Famous British Columbia Fly-Fishing Waters by Art Lingren


    I am actually reading them together Lingren's book make a great reference
    to Haig-Browns as well he refers to much of what Haig writes about.
    Good stuff!

    I could not recommend these strongly enough the authors take you on a journey through piscatorial history of some the finest northern rivers.


    I started collecting back in the early eighties and have been addicted
    to reading and collecting ever since.


    How many of you collect fly-fishing books and what do you have?

    My library consists of two hundred thirty five of which twenty are related
    to fly tying the rest fly fishing and aquatic entomology.

    So what book (s) is currently on your night stand?

    I just finished The Orvis Guide to Beginning Fly Fishing. It was ok. Kind of boring, but informative. Nothing I couldn't learn on FAOL, but my wife would rather me read and ignore her than play on the computer and ignore her.

    Just finished Theodore Rex, a biography of Teddy.

    And most of the way through "Something of Value" an African hunting (and lots more) book by Robert Ruark published in '55. It is about the African wars.

    God Laughs and Plays by David James Duncan, the guy that wrote "The River Why" and a bunch of other good stuff is next.
