About this title

From the Back Cover

Sparse Grey Hackle is the icon of the golden age of fly fishing, the confidant and recorder of the first generation of fly fishers - George LaBranche, Edward Hewitt, Harry and Elsie Darbee, and Vincent Marinaro, to name a few. An Honest Angler is a full and satisfying collection of Sparse's famous and unforgettable essays and the best of his lesser-known newspaper articles, columns, and letters - selected and edited by his daughter. Sparse writes about a wide spectrum of subjects: fly fishing, writing, wild life, track, boating, his military days, and, of course, friends and family. With a moving and humorous biographical foreword by Pat Sherwood, this book is a must for every Sparse Grey Hackle fan, and for anyone interested in angling, sports, and great writing.
