Black budget it. Bury it in the Christmas tree appropriations bill . . .”) to the trout numb (“Freezing rain. Nuclear blast- speed wind. Icy pellets smashing into my face like 12-ought buckshot. Nothing. I felt nothing, really, nothing but happiness.”) With over 50 new cartoons and writing that will have beginner and experienced anglers alike rolling on the floor, Angler Management is must-read comic relief for fly fishers who have gone off the deep end.

In High Rollers, artist and hardcore angler Bill Bishop tackles all aspects of tarpon fishing--from building leaders to bringing fish in quickly.
