Fish Tales - A Collection of Humorous Fishing Stories (Paperback)

"Not many writers can write short and well. Even fewer can write short and well and move the reader. Al Liere does all three and, with the fewest possible keystrokes, touches the heart."--Paul Quinnett, Ph.D., clinical psychologist and the author of Pavlov's Trout "The tapestry of Alan Liere's writing isn't just the main thread of fishing. Nor is it the tight weave of family, conservation, or place. It's not even Liere's knife-edged humor. It's all those things flowing together like a river through his stories of life. This is writing at its best."--Scott Stouder, Western field director for Trout Unlimited "Alan Liere collects close encounters of the piscatorial kind and sets them down with a wry sense of humor and a sympathy for fishermen that arises from 50 years of sharing their special kind of madness. His work is proof that the funniest things in life are generally the truest."--Chris Madson, editor, Wyoming Wildlife: Fish Tales is a collection of adventures, misadventures, and reflections by humor writer Alan Liere. All who spend time on the water can relate to Liere's outdoor outtakes. Fish Tales, a collection of the 80 funniest "Fish Tales" featured in Northwest, Southwest, and Eastern Fly Fishing magazines, is the perfect gift for anglers of all ages.
