Why We Fish: Reel Wisdom from Real Fishermen? During the short time since its publication, this book by award-winning writer Robert Montgomery has collected rave reviews from the fishing community and Amazon.com. In this behind-the-scenes look at fishing, Montgomery explores his beloved sport through the eyes of ten angling icons—men and women known for their contributions to fishing. And what do they tell us? It seems we fish to remember, and we fish to forget. We fish when we’re happy, and when we’re sad. We fish to bond with friends and family, or to be alone.
Whatever our motivation, and no matter where we on the success spectrum, fishing makes our lives better in ways we never could have imagined. It slows us down. It sets us free. It teaches us about nature, even while showing us how much we don’t know. And fishing becomes the foundation of our fondest memories.
The fifty entertaining stories and great messages explain why this book makes first-class reading for almost anyone, including armchair fishermen, avid anglers, people who’ve never wet a hook, and family members who wonder what all the fuss is about. The book makes a perfect gift and promotes the sport of fishing.
As Bill Dance, one of the world’s most beloved anglers, says: “Why We Fish, is a perfect example of your unbelievable talent, Robert. It’s an absolute masterpiece.” NorLightsPress is proud to publish this fine collection of fishing lore.
