great practical and enjoyable book

Just happened to pick this book up out of the blue. Little did I know I was buying what is my favourite fishing book, but some very relevant information on some of my local fishing areas.Although Canadians living in the Toronto area may most relate to the references to fishing in the area, this book should appeal to most fishermen and friends of fishermen with its very humourous and profound portrayal of (this is the best term I can think of) the "fishing lifestyle."Now what is particularly endearing about the "lifestyle" is that it is not the bass boat rock and roll we associate with those sponsor-laden infomericials we call fishing shows. Nor is this is about elitist fly fishing club types. This is about the obsessive bush-whacker who can't help but stop by a local conservation area on the way back from work to explore some obscure trickle of a stream which might hold aquatic life.Anyone into stream fishing for trout will be entertained by this book, and learn some valuable techniques. Gord Deval is generous in sharing his "secrets" that so many river anglers jealously guard. Highly recommended!
