The Compleat McClane: A Treasury of A.J. McClane's Classic Angling Adventures

By A.J. McClane. Introduction by John Merwin.

A major new angling compendium that brings together no fewer than forty-eight of McClane's most memorable lessons and adventures from a lifetime pursuing the world's great gamefish.

The Compleat McClane comprises four highly selective sections--all appearing for the first time in book form. "Here's How" covers American angling methods in depth. Whether a fly caster or spin fisherman, you can't help but improve your skills and chances for success with these lessons from the master. "From Panfish to Piranhas," the second section, covers techniques and tactics for catching trout, bass, and salmon, among others. Then there's "The Gustatory Angler," where every fishing success has a second happy ending: out of the pan and onto the table. McClane, an international authority on fish cookery, includes many of his mouth-watering recipes. Finally, in "Ripples and Reflections," McClane's skills as a writer shine through in these vivid recollections of favourite American rivers and famous streamside companions such as the late Arnold Gingrich and Charles Ritz.
