Just finished reading Fly Fishing the Solitude, a great read! Thanks for the recommendation.

Hoosier, I have read both Hilyard's book (nicely done) and George Black's, which to me just edges The History of the Fish Hook as the fishing book of the year last year. Beautifully written--I can't recommend it highly enough. Also read Holdens book many moons ago.

On my Christmas list is Rusty Gates' Seasons on the Au Sable and Mary Kelly's Origins of American Angling. Looking forward to both!

Tight Lines,
