The author of more than twenty books, his work appeared in Field & Stream, Gray's Sporting Journal, and Fly Rod & Reel, and he wrote a long-running column for Trout magazine. He passed away in October 2024. Where the Trout Are All as Long as Your Leg is one of his most celebrated short collections — a tribute to "secret places" in fishing, from a private spring creek under armed guard to an unknown beaver pond, a brook full of rattlesnakes, and a private pond where the trout grow leg-length. The Lyons & Burford 1991 hardcover is the original first edition format. CONDITION Ver
