    About this ebook


    AView From The Lake is much more then just a book of fishing stories. Yes there are plenty of fish stories but it just as much a book about people and places. There are memories of fishing with a grandfather and father, old and new friends and now a grandson. We travel to waters near and far. We venture to Cozumel for bonefish, Key West for tarpon, and to Canada for walleyes and northern pike. Closer to home we fish for bass and panfish, on the Mississippi River for walleyes, and an ice fishing trip to Lake Of The Woods. There are memories of an island and the adventure of camping there as a young boy, confidence in a favorite bait, the joys of Christmas vacation and the much anticipated arrival of the greatest fishing catalog of all time. The stories also relate the frustration with lawn work during fishing season, the importance of selecting a good fishing hat, and the beauty and memories associated with an old reel. There is a cabin in Minnesota loaded with colorful characters where just being there is more important then catching fish. There is a muskie fishing story from northern Wisconsin that actually begins in Innsbruck, Austria and another story of a mysterious trout stream in North Carolina. There are memories and laughter, lakes and streams and rivers, family and friends, and all the things that make fishing what it is.

      Further to Giles Catchpole’s article in Shooting Times (A shot at the title, 21 September), I can only assume he has never fired a .410. Over 50 years ago my father entrusted me with a Belgian single barrel .410; it was a semi hammergun and went with

      Confessions Of A Salmon Angler

      Feb 19, 2023

      Fishing for river run salmon is unlike any other type of freshwater angling in New Zealand. For one there are not many of them and they don’t hang around like trout, at least not in the lower and middle parts of rivers. Another fact is that in any gi
