An Honest Angler : The Best of Sparse Grey Hackle

Sparse Grey Hackle is the icon of the golden age of fly fishing, the confidant and recorder of the first generation of fly fishers - George LaBranche, Edward Hewitt, Harry and Elsie Darbee and Vincent Marinaro, to name a few. "An Honest Angler" is a collection of Sparse's famous and unforgettable essays and the best of his lesser-known newspaper articles, columns, and letters - selected and edited by his daughter.

Sparse writes about a wide spectrum of subjects: fly fishing, writing, wild life, track, boating, his military days and, of course, friends and family.

With a moving and humorous biographical foreword by Pat Sherwood, this book should appeal to every Sparse Grey Hackle fan, and to anyone interested in angling, sports and great writing.
