title: Trout Eyes: True Tales of Adventure, Travel, and Fly-Fishing
author:  William G. Tapply 
description: This collection of 29 essays by the author of the Brady Coyne mystery series arrives just in time for the flurry of spring and early summer trout and bass fishing. In his eleventh fishing book, Tapply pursues trout throughout the U.S., Canada, and Patagonia. He stalks bass and striped bass across New England and travels to Guyana and Belize for permit, tarpon, and bonefish. Many of these essays revisit favorite topics from earlier workteamwork, friendships, the joys of small trout streams and simple bass fishingbut they never feel repetitive. As always, Tapply shines in capturing a fishing locale's ambience and in describing arcane fishing techniques clearly and simply, as he does here in reflecting on bass bug fishing and on short fly rods. He also writes affectionately and wistfully about his father, devoted angler H. G. Tapply, who died in 2002. Among fishing and nature writers, Tapply stands out for his assured prose, his good nature, and always solid angling advice. Rowen, John <br /><i>Copyright  American Library Association.
