Description
"Its been a lifelong, ever-expanding journey, with many big sh and faraway waters and dramatic moments . . . and yet I dont think any of those moments or any of those places or sh has thrilled me any more than seeing the twitch of my y line where it entered the muddy waters of my backyard pond . . .
In this collection of y-shing stories from acclaimed novelist and outdoor writer William G. Tapply, the natural appeal of y shing comes to life. Each story in Every Day Was Special was previously published in Tapplys back-page column, Reading the Currents in American Angler, or in Grays Sporting Journal, or in Field & Stream. From Dam It to First Light to When Trout Get Antsy, these thirty re-readable pieces are unique in their own ways, and yet, all are classic Tapply. These writings serve as testament to the thrill of shing, the inimitable energy of casting at daybreak, and the innocence of streamside summers.
