Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Best Fishing Books

I recently found a copy of A Fly Fisherman's Blue Ridge by Chris Camuto in my office's book collection and am really enjoying it. I also don't think it is possible to read A River Runs Through It by Norman Maclean too many times...I have been through it at least a half dozen times, and it still sucks me in by the 2nd or 3rd page.

If you have ever spent time in musky country, A Compendium of Musky Angling History by Larry Ramsell is also a really cool read.

I'm always looking for a good fishing book and would like to know what members here consider their favorite fishing book.  What books do you consider classics and a must read?

I will be on vacation next week and need reading material.  Also, a few years ago I started collecting fishing related books and I'm always looking for more titles to add to my collection.

My personal preference isn't "How To" type books, I enjoy reading Fishing Lifestyle type books or Essay Collection and Memoirs from legendary anglers like Tom McGuane.  I just finished reading the latest from John Gierach.  "All Fishermen are Liars"  It was more of the same from him.

Here are a few of my favorites:

"Tales of Virgin Seas" by Zane Grey.  Grey may be better known for writing westerns but he was a prolific angler and adventurer.

"Fly Fishing Through the Midlife Crisis" by Howell Raines.  The Majority of this book is written about local waters.

"Trout Bum"  John Gierach.  This book is why I became interested in fly fishing.  There aren't many good books on the lifestyle of a gear and bait fisherman.

If anyone has any suggestions, I'd like to hear them.

Best,

Bob
