Winter Reading List

[PeteV]

I was getting ready to settle into a winter reading mode and was wondering if you have some reading recommendations.

I've gone through my John Gierach books and moved onto some older ones I haven't read before like Charlie Brooks' Nymph fishing for larger trout.

Do you have any recommendations for some winter reading.. something with a trout & fly flyfishing flavour.

Thanks

I just finished Gierach's "Fool's Paradise". Very good. If you have already finished that as part of your Gierach books, then you might like "The Longest Silence - A Life in Fishing" by Thomas McGuane. Also take a look at "Trout Madness" by Robert Traver aka John D. Voelker.

Thanks for the ideas.
right now I'm going through Ed Engles "Splitting Cane" its a pretty straight forward run down of some of the current rod builders and also John Gierachs "view from rat lake". After that I've got an old Charlie Brooks book that talks about nymph fishing streams & rivers...it touches on all those little tricks like the Leisering lift...but he has a nice way of making it simple

Theres one gierach's books that Ive never found or read ( I have most of them) "where all the trout are as long as your leg"...dont know if its just out of print or what but would like to read it.
