J.h. Hall

Cover Girl & Other Stories of Fly-fishermen in Maine J.h. Hall

With humor and compassion, author J. H. Hall chronicles the joys and tribulations of Maine fly fishermen, their loved ones, and their adversaries. Hall's characters share a passion for fly-fishing-their lifeline-and an indifference to most of society's other conventions. Whether building an indoor trout stream, robbing a bank, or waging mischief against a market-savvy, modernist guide, these characters gallantly struggle to preserve a way of life and a part of Maine that is rapidly disappearing. Praise for previously published works by J. H. Hall: Paradise: Stories of a Changing Chesapeake: "Hall's portrayal glows like a watercolor. He mobilizes his language in quick, sure strokes: subdued, taut, winsome by turns."-Ramon de Rosas, Maine In Print"Michael Crichton is not the only doctor-turned-writer to come down the pike in the past few years In fact, I would say he's not even the best. The author I've just discovered [J. H. Hall] is considerably better "-Cheryl Nowak, Eastern Shore NewsSelling Fish: Stories from a Fishing Life: " Jim Hall has always been dead serious about fishing. Those of you who feel the same way will love and understand this book"-John Cole, author of Striper and In Maine
