Cover Girl & Other Stories of Fly-Fishermen in Maine

With humor and compassion author J. H. Hall chronicles the joys and tribulations of Maine fly fishermen their loved ones and their adversaries. Hall's characters share a passion for fly-fishing-their lifeline-and an indifference to most of society's other conventions. Whether building an indoor trout stream robbing a bank or waging mischief against a market-savvy modernist guide these characters gallantly struggle to preserve a way of life and a part of Maine that is rapidly disappearing.</P><p>Praise for previously published works by J.
