Reviews

'A fascinating examination of the lore of fishing and the psyche of fishermen.' Milwaukee Journal Sentinel 'This is a perfectly serious anthropological investigation of you, me and the authors, lightened with wit and irony and with scarcely any anthropological gobbledygook (and that mainly from quotations from others in the field). In short, it is an informative and unexpectedly enjoyable experience.' Trout and Salmon
