I have to relate a story to you folks... As an avid flyfisher, I have read excerpts from THE book... The Compleat Angler... I have seen the documentary, The Complete Angler, as well as own the book by James Prosek...which the documentary is based on...per se... A gift from a friend who also brought myself paperwork from a visitor center in England...so...I am kind of a fan...as soooo many others... However....the one prime piece was missing...the book by the man himself... Until one day... As my wife and I were walking along a city street, in Trail, British Columbia, Canada...there on a public bench...was the golden egg itself... A complete and unabridged, Woodsworth Classics, copy of "The Compleat Angler"...from 1996... The only damage being a slight bend to the front cover... THAT was a sweet piece to add to my fisherman's library.. That's my story... Thanks for putting the time and effort you folks do in putting these videos together for us.... In the past few days I have caught 5 rainbow, lost 4 and caught 2 bass...and I am going out tonight to see what the Mighty Columbia river will give up tonight... Sport Fishing on the Fly does a nice video about the Columbia river.....definitely worth the watch...Tell Don I said hi... He, Brian Chan, and April Vokey are responsible for my recovery and walking again after a massive back injury that left me unable to walk up and down stairs for a year and a half... But....that's another story... Tight lines friends...
