Description
Small Fry: The Lure of the Little is a literary study of small fish & small waters, a survey of fly fishing literature, & a personal memoir contrasting youthful fishing stories with contemporary angling adventures. The author’s search for small fry on the fly takes him to places as remote as the small streams in the Appalachian Mountains & as urban as the ponds in Manhattan’s Central Park. Laced with the humor & the poetry of experience, Small Fry reveals why “the lure of the little” is a passion worth catching.

WHAT THE EXPERTS ARE SAYING:
"The author provides the urban fly fisher with the necessary knowledge & outlook to find a variety of close to home fishing opportunities....All one has to do is think small. Small waters, small fish in both size & fly rod popularity, but certainly not small in tussle & spunk. This little book will get you into the game & provide you with lots of ideas for getting to fly fish & visit the waterside between those more elaborate & exotic fishing trips. Likewise, the information about tackle is also well designed for thinking small as it comprises a minimalist approach suited to a stroll or bike ride to the water. Overall, the book itself is well written & a pleasure to read. This is a good one to add to your urban angler book shelf." -- Bruce E. Harang, Federation of Fly Fishers Magazine
