A good FF book

Postby Papasequoia » January 23rd, 2012, 1:11 am

Lots of good books out there, quite a few about the outdoors, and many about fly fishing, but I haven't read one this good in quite some time: In Hemingway's Meadow, a collection of award winning short stories edited by Joe Healy and put out by Fly Rod and Reel books. Well worth the purchase price. I couldn't find it at B&N but ordered it from amazon. Just wanted to mention it in case anyone is looking for some good reading material.

Thanks, Jon! I am always in the market for a good book. My latest, which came today is : "Tube Flies Two: Evololution", along with my adapter to tie tube flies. :)

Thanks - just ordered it. Now finding the time to read it...

What a great suggestion. I read exerts of the book on Amazon. Captivating and sincere, cleaver and poignant. As usually Papa hits a home run.
