Covered Waters - Tempests of a Nomadic Trouter

Informationen zum Autor By Joseph Heywood Klappentext Originally published in 2003, Covered Waters is a "forgotten classic" by Joseph Heywood. Now back in print and featuring new material, this collection of autobiographical essays and fishing tales helps readers understand the extent of Heywood's passion for the sport, especially in his native waters of Michigan. Covered Waters covers an outdoorsman's wanderings and wonderings about fishing and life, and how the two are often interconnected. These episodes include reminiscences of his days in the U.S. Air Force, training to drop nukes on the Soviet Union in the Cold War; his temporary but intense obsession with bear hunting (which ended the moment he finally killed a bear); and, of course, his international adventures in fishing, recounting such hilarious scenes as two women in France engaged in what appeared to be strip fishing. After fishing the world over, Heywood finds that there is no water like home water, and no fishing partners like old friends. Zusammenfassung A "lost classic" by Joseph Heywood, beloved author of mysteries set among fisherman and hunters. Reissued and featuring brand new material since the original edition, this collection of essays and fishing tales helps readers understand the extent of Heywood’s passion for the sport, and revel in his own admission: he rarely catches any!
