Selling Fish

Rating:
Summary: fine writing
Review: J.H. Hall combines McGuane's command of the language and Gierach's homespun wisdom with his own unique sense of humor in this fine collection of stories. Whether fishing the lakes and streams of his adopted state of Maine, the bonefishing flats of the Caribbean, or the trout streams of Montana, Hall brilliantly shares his enthusiasm and insight into the art of fishing and the fellow sojourners he encounters along the way. His knack of humourously observing the fine nuances of situations will keep any reader smiling from the first to the last page. Best of all he transports you to whatever geographical location he is in so that even if you are not a fisherman you are as excited as he is about the next cast. You might even end up looking at a favorite body of water with fresh interest. Hall is selling fish!
