About this book
An osprey circling above a lake gives Henry Abbott a reason to put down his fishing rod and watch a more skillful angler at work. In these short outdoor sketches, people share the water with birds and animals whose ways of finding a meal become the real fish stories. With his companion Bige, Abbott explores lakes and ponds by boat. Casting for bass and trout gives the narrator plenty to observe beyond his own line.
Humor grows from close encounters: a raccoon watches the movement of a fly rod, while a porcupine interrupts a night's sleep at a small cabin. Abbott's preface teases the familiar suspicion that fishermen stretch the truth, then offers to speak for creatures that cannot tell their own tales.
