James Proseck:Joe and I

Post by Capebreton »

I believe there have been references to his Walton boo. I really like Joe and I . It recounts hid growing up and the mentoring he got from a crusty game warden who had caught him poaching. A lovely read and reminds us about how critical it is to help young people who are learning to fish.

Pardon my ignorance but is this the same James Proseck as in "The compleat Angler"?

When I realised it who the guy in the compleat angler film was, I couldn't help thinking that he looks rather young to have written so many books....

Me too Scott but I really enjoyed the compleat Angler, so I think I might give his books a go.

Yes. I think he started writing really young. He is also a gifted painter. .he has done books of paintings of trout. I think Joe and I is a really pleasant book.
