Home Water by William Tapply
I recently finished another Bill Tapply book titled “Home Water - Near & Far.” I ran across the book on a used book shelf, in excellent condition, and it turned out to be an excellent read. The book is presented in essay format, with Bill sharing his fishing adventures in New England during his youth and adult years. Additionally, there are chapters where he recounts his experiences fishing some of the renowned rivers in Montana and Idaho. A few chapters are highly educational, as he shares his (and his father's) expertise in fly fishing, including “how to’s” with fly tying. I particularly enjoyed his insights on dry fly fishing in various stream conditions...sharing his methods found to be effective, and reliable for him. Yup, this book is a good read, and I learned something I'll be giving a try in the new season! NOTE: I received a notice regarding a new Joe Pickett novel to be released in February. Yup, I pre-ordered it instantly...and I'm sure The Crossroads book ...
