TALES OF FRESH-WATER FISHING
New York and London: Harper & Brothers Publishers, 1928. First Edition. Hardcover. Zane Grey (1872-1939), 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 300 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, Grey also enjoyed freshwater fishing for bass, trout, steelhead, and salmon. In this work, he recounts his expeditions on the Delaware River, off the West Coast of the United States, and in British Columbia.
