Forgot to mention the name of the author of Pavlov's Trout/Darwin's Bass. He's Paul Quinnett, Ph.D, of Cheney. If you ever ponder the question of WHY we fish, he's got some very amusing (and professional) answers. I'd also recommend anything by Nick Lyons, another guy "I wish I could write like!"
There is surely no shortage of fishing books out there. I believe the only one left to be written is "Flyfishing for Dogfish!"
And how refreshing to have so many literate members of this board, while the preferred reading on other boards seems to be Fishing & Hunting News!
