Crunch Adams, skipper of the trim cruiser Poseidon , and his partner Des Smith entertained readers of the Saturday Evening Post from 1939 to 1954 in these 22 tales about a charter-boat fishing business off Florida’s coast. A unique treat for fishing enthusiasts, Wylie’s jaunty stories are full of iridescent charm and rhapsodic prose that captures the tribulations and imponderables of fishing. While many are period pieces, the best of these romantic idylls have a timeless quality. Wylie ( Generation of Vipers ; Finley Wren ) is adept at quick, incisive sketches of Crunch & Des’s customers, illuminating their foibles, dreams and the pressures they’re trying to escape as they ply the indigo waters from Miami to the Keys. He also evinces sympathy for “fishing widows,” like Crunch’s sensible wife , women whose husbands are “at sea” in more ways than one.

London’s Thames River; a dump on the San Francisco Bay; Paris’s Ile de la Cite; Manhattan’s East River; and a minuscule pond in a Tokyo park near a “main defense establishment” are a few of the fishing sites featured in the anthology City Fishing. Most fishing guides (and people who fish) set their sights on the great outdoors Montana, Oregon, Maine anywhere but deep in the city. But these authors, including Ian Frazier, J.H. Hall, Dave Hughes and Charles Rangeley-Wilson, intrepid fishermen all, describe their urban fishing exploits with humor, graphic detail, social commentary and a peculiar sense of adventure.

From Booklist
The 17 stylish essays in this anthology bring wit and insight to bear on the intriguing paradox that fishing, despite bucolic associations, is a growing part of urban culture. Such well-known fishing writers as Jerry Dennis, Nick Lyons, and James Prosek, along with literary stars Ian Frazier and Pete Fromm and 12 others, muse on the experiences of angling in such citified climes as Paris, Tokyo, London, San Francisco, and New York. Other not exactly urban but certainly nontraditional fishing venues discussed here include Niagara Falls and the fountain at a Georgia junior college. The quarry ranges from trout, grayling, salmon, and stripers to carp, chubs, and panfish. Throughout, the essays engage the reader with both their original subject matter and the variety of entertaining and enlightening writing styles, from high comedy to poetic reflection. An outstanding fishing book. John Rowen
