Incredible Fishing Stories ─ Classic Angling Tales from Around the World

A diverse collection of remarkable stories that represent the universal thrill of the fishing experience.

From stalking the big game of the African savannah, to grouse shooting in the American Northeast, to bear hunting in the Pacific Northwest, a hunter's experience is as varied as the terrain that he or she traverses. But what is universal is the joy and elation that a hunter experiences while out in the field. Found in this collection are timeless works from celebrated writers that aim to explore the mysterious grip that hunting has held on the hearts and imaginations of those it has ensnared for centuries. Within these pages, the reader can:

Join Rudyard Kipling as he chases a cow that has stolen his minnow
Examine the philosophical side of angling with Thaddeus Norris
Fish the Ohio River with John James Audubon
Learn from a wise and experienced angler with Washington Irving
And many more fishing escapades!

With more than three dozen photographs and illustrations that masterfully bring these stories to life, Incredible Fishing Stories is a must-have for every angler looking to share in the joy of their chosen sport.
