Tales, Travel & Tying
Snook on a Fly
Tackle, Tactics, and Tips for Catching the Great Saltwater Gamefish
By Norm Zeigler
(Stackpole Books: 2007; 800-732-3669; www.stackpolebooks.com)
120 pp.; hardcover; $21.95
Got to like a man who loves a fish.
I always do - somebody who finds himself mesmerized, profoundly appreciative, frankly and hope-lessly fond of a species.
Much better if said soul is also an author who communicates the above effectively enough that a reader catches the spirit; or at least the passion so inspired. And about halfway through Norm Zeigler's prose description of the snook's physical features-a paean partly biological, partly architectural and mostly aesthetic-I found myself grinning, fully prepared for the declaration that these are "the most elegant fish in the water."
