Synopsis

Zane Grey, known and loved primarily for his Western novels, was an avid fisherman. When his writing started paying off, he managed to spend as many as three hundred days a year enjoying the sport. And while he is remembered for his record-breaking catches, such as the 464-pound marlin caught off the coast of Tahiti, Zane Grey also enjoyed freshwater fishing for bass, trout, steelhead, and salmon.In Tales of Freshwater Fishing, Grey recounts his expeditions on the Delaware River, off the West Coast of the United States, and in British Columbia.

About Zane Grey

Zane Grey (January 31, 1872–October 23, 1939), born in Ohio, was practicing dentistry in New York when he and his wife, Lina Roth (Dolly) Grey, published his first novel. Grey presented the West as a moral battleground in which his characters are destroyed because of their inability to change or are redeemed through a final confrontation with their past. The man whose name is synonymous with Westerns made his first trip west in 1907 at age thirty-five. Riders of the Purple Sage (1912) was his bestselling book. More than 130 films have been based on his work.

My grandmother turned me on to Zane Grey when I was young. I loved his writing styles from the first book that I read, which I wish I could remember today.

Goodreads review by Michael

Really enjoyed this book from an author who I usually read for a good western story. Fascinating also to read about how fishing has not changed much in the last 100 years!......more

William Hope excellent. Marvelous listen, very evocative of the age, countryside, river and angling. Did not realise fly fishing involved so much running about, very amusing stories. 😁......more
