"The Compleat McClane comprises four highly selective sections - all appearing for the first time in book form. "Here's How" covers American angling methods in depth. Whether a fly caster or a spin fisherman, you can't help but improve your skills and chances for success with these lessons from the master. "From Panfish to Piranhas," the second section, covers techniques and tactics for catching trout, bass, and salmon, amongst others. Then there's "The Gustatory Angler," where every fishing success has a second happy ending: out of the pan and onto the table. McClane, an international authority on fish cookery, includes many of his mouth-watering recipes. Finally, in "Ripples and Reflections," McClane's skills as a writer shine through in these vivid recollections of favorite American rivers and famous streamside companions such as the late Arnold Gingrich and Charles Ritz." "In The Compleat McClane one of the best angling writers of all time takes beginners and the already wise to streams, lakes, and seashores to bring us all a world of fishing information and enjoyment. From bass to bonefish, from sunfish to salmon, Al McClane writes from a great store of knowledge and with a deep love for the sport." (Lee Wulff). "Nobody in the history of fishing has travelled so far and wide for so many species of game fish as the constantly innovative A.J. McClane. From Alaska to the Antipodes, McClane has fished every corner of the globe, and here is the book that takes you with him to those moments of adventure and joy that lie at the heart of angling." (Ernest Schwiebert). . …
