Always wanted to read that book, but had heard (through this forum, I believe) that it was out of print. Is yours an old copy?

On a related note, I have to give a plug to Dr. Harold Lyon's incredible book, "Angling in the Smile of the Great Spirit," which my wife got me for our anniversary last week. Even if you're not an angler, Dr. Lyon's book is a witty, insightful, poignant, and humorous account of life on the lake and the Zen of fishing. The shared fishing wisdom is top-shelf (and, thankfully, validates some of the stuff I've heard from various fishermen on the Lake over the past 40 years), and the profiles and advice of the 15 "Master Anglers" is invaluable. It's a great summer read (or winter or spring) and makes a great gift for anyone who loves "Winni."

That being said, I would LOVE to fish with this guy.
