Re: “Summer on the Test”

I just ordered a copy of the book from Amazon. I downloaded and read the pdf of this book several years ago. Since then I have been looking for a reasonably priced printed book. I also prefer a printed book over a digital copy when I can afford it. I found one on Amazon for $10, in very good conditi...

Re: EARLY SCOTTISH ANGLING LITERATURE

Thanks Lou, another book to add to my library! Also ordered the colonial anglers manual 2. I love reading about fly fishing history. I've never met Darrel Martin, but I have all of his books. It must have been nice to have been able to spend an afternoon with him.
