WildLife

<p>Fishermen like holidays because they keep other folks off the water. The way they celebrate traditional holidays like Thanksgiving obscure holidays like Arbor Day and as yet-to-be-declared holidays like National Cabin Fever Day depends on whether one fishes or not.</p><p>In WildLife: Volume Three: Fisherman’s Holidays author Pat Neal examines our unrealistic expectations toward holidays through a collection of previously published newspaper columns. Written from his research as an historian and the wild and wooly life of a guide on the rivers of the Olympic Peninsula these stories attempt to answer the eternal question: why can’t the Skunk Cabbage Festival last all year? Gleaned from the commentary page of The Peninsula Daily News Neal offers a year’s worth of fisherman’s holiday stories.</p><p>WildLife provides humorous insight from a fisherman’s point of view into a host of holidays from Thanksgiving to the solstice to election day and more.</p>
