James Proseck:Joe and I
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.

Re: James Proseck:Joe and I
Pardon my ignorance but is this the same James Proseck as in "The compleat Angler"?

God never did make a more calm, quiet, innocent recreation than angling.

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....

Re: James Proseck:Joe and I
Me too Scott but I really enjoyed the compleat Angler, so I think I might give his books a go.

Re: James Proseck:Joe and I
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.
