Joe Brooks – författare

Joe Brooks takes the reader with him as he fishes the finest places in the world. His life is a series of major trips, followed by sterling accounts of the situations and incidents encountered Greatest Fishing not only divulges the location of superlative spots and pertinent information relative to accommodations, but intermingled throughout is a wealth of applicable fishing know-how.One wonderful excursion after another passes in review as opportunities are divulged to the ardent angler.Beach, reef and ocean fishing is Bermuda produces endless variety including bonefish, mackerel, wahoo and many unexpected catches. Robert Louis Stevenson’s “Treasure Island”, the Isle of Pines, Cuba, provides the ultimate in fishing for the speed demon bonefish. The word “Panama” means “waters of many fishes” and Joes found that name fitted those fish-filled waters on the Atlantic side of the isthmus.In the estimation of some anglers, Atlantic salmon provide the ultimate in angling thrills and finesse. One of the famous spots for Solar is the foot of the falls of the Humber River, Newfoundland. Brook trout fishing too, in this youngest Canadian province is spectacular, for when a brook trout goes to see and then returns to his native waters, he is fat, sassy and full of fight.Great light tackle sport is to be had around the Bahamas. Fishing for snook in the awesome half-world of the vast Everglades swamps of Florida is like angling out of this world. The Florida Keys too, present great opportunities for the angler and they are within easy striking distance of the home of this restless angler.

A sleepy passenger wrestles in seat 4C of Shepherd Air Flight 4316, the last flight out of New Orleans. F. Jordan Landham, once Hopeland Morning Journal''s two-time winner of Tennessee journalism''s most prestigious award, now contemplates the journey back to his hometown; this time, as a potential pastor. As he travels alone, he carried both physical luggage and a lifetime of inner baggage. Can he overcome his fears? Can he set his doubts aside before 11 a.m. Sunday morning? What about the revenge-seeking tactics? And that private battle no one sees? What about the memories of the past? And after the shooting stops, can he practice Christ''s forgiveness while his own blood runs down the gilded edges of his Bible?

With the growing popularity of salt water fly-fishing today, we easily forget that this sport was only begun in the 1930s-1950s. Brooks was one of the earliest pioneers of salt water techniques and salt water flies—both of which still catch fish today. His book, originally published in 1950, remains one of the best overall guides to the sport.
