Críticas
"The title itself may be trite, but it's a good indicator of the unpretentious nature of the writing within, which makes for a pleasant read."--"Publishers Weekly" "What sets Bill Tapply's writing apart is the authentic voice of a man who has put in his time--fifty-some-odd years--on the rivers, ponds, and oceans he writes about. He doesn't have to adopt the pose of 'fly-fishing writer' because he is the real deal, and that's why these essays lack the pretension and preachiness so common in sporting literature. He treats his readers as equals, which makes reading these essays a warm and intimate experience."--Philip Monahan, editor, "American Angler" "This is the best Tapply essay collection yet, and it belongs on the shelf with fish lit's other master stylists, Thomas McGuane and John Gierach. One of the best sports books of the year."--"Booklist" "A meal, Gone Fishin' is. Comfort food and fine conversation--the kind of book Tapply himself might pack and reread on a trip, as is his habit."--"Fly Rod & Reel" Praise for William G. Tapply's previous books: "A fine collection of reminiscence, insight, and observation guaranteed to resonate with fly fishers of any age or experience."--"Fly Fisherman" (on "A Fly-Fishing Life") "Bill Tapply is one of the great authentic voices of American angling--unassuming and funny, practical and wry. Acquainted firsthand with both the passions and pathologies of fishing, he takes the sport no more seriously than it deserves--and not one bit less."--Ted Leeson (on "Pocket Water") "Why do I enjoy reading Tapply so much? Because he's a storyteller-supreme, one who can instruct without once letting that get in the way of a great tale."--Slaton White, "Field & Stream" on "Pocket Water") "Tapply is completely open. In a folksy tone accessible to the unconverted, he explains fly fishing's draw, from its comforting solitude to the thrill of stalking and hooking a big fish. And for the fanatical, he approaches the deeper, subtler questions at the heart of the sport."--Thomas Jackson," Forbes FYI" (on "Pocket Water")
Reseña del editor
Here is long-time fly-fishing writer, William G. Tapply, on the big and small pleasures of fishing, from fly tying to hunting the big ones. In "Extreme Angling," Tapply dismisses the idea of fly fishing as "the quiet sport," with tales of grizzly attacks, rogue logs, and big water. In "Hexed," he finds out that his local stream - overstocked and over fished - offers a lot more than he ever suspected. In "Paying Homage," he describes the mystical joys of the Beaverkill in upstate New York. In "Seven for the Road," he gives readers a peek at some of the most important things he stows in his tackle bag, including the books he carries on every trip. It's an inspiring collection, from a fisherman whose writing is well known and well respected.
