Hardcover, 200 pages; 2006

An interesting story and a vivid watercolor painting introduce each of the seventy-seven fish featured in this magnificent 11.25"x14.5" book. Even for non-anglers, Fish is fascinating to browse. The text accompanying each image varies widely: it may focus on the fish's name (the Arctic char called Dolly Varden is named after a Dickens character); an odd physical feature (the fluke's right eye eventually migrates to the left side of its head); or the best way to catch that particular fish (if you go trolling for wahoo, for example, you'd better drive that boat fast). This colorful collection of fresh—and saltwater beauties is sure to impress your favorite outdoorsman.
