Publisher Synopsis
"Bob Rich is one of the truly great fishermen I know. He is a skilled angler for all kinds of fish. But equally important he has great respect for fisheries. Bob is a true sportsman and a wonderful, warm human being. I love reading his books and am proud to call him 'friend.'"--George Herbert Walker Bush "Reading Bob Rich on fishing is as much fun as being there. No one is better at translating our passion for the sport into words."--Captain Ted Lund, editor of Fly Fishing in Salt Waters"Bob Rich has four wonderful attributes. He's a great angler, a great storyteller, a great writer and last, but not least, a great gentleman whom we all admire."--Stu Apte, IGFA Hall of Fame Angler"If Bob asks, 'Did I tell you about that big fish I caught?' Say what I say: 'No, and I appreciate it.'"--Bill Dance, Hall of Fame Bass Master"Bob Rich is our modern-day Hemingway and the only fellow I know who claims to have released the world-record sailfish caught on fly." -Johnny Morris, Bass Pro Shops"A man's approach to fishing says a lot about his approach to life... Bob is gentle and generous spirited man in both."--John Bailey, author of John Bailey's Complete Guide to Fly Fishing"Who we are and why we fish is defined by balancing an insatiable passion with the good, the bad, and the ugly. Bob Rich's The Fishing Club has captured it all." --Andy Mill, Five-time Gold Cup Champion Read more...
