Welcome to Jack's Fly Fishing Blog!

Jack's main avocation - besides raising children and dealing with miscreant politicians - is fly fishing. His 1988 book, Fear of Fly Fishing, hit number five on the Seattle Times best seller list, and two other of his books have dealt with bass fishing (Fishing Bass Ackwards) and the utterly incomprehensible world of fly fishing equipment (Get The Net!). Jack is currently working on the sequel to Fear of Fly Fishing, which is entitled An Inconvenient Trout.

Jack will blog about fly fishing, in the hopes that we can share stories, lies, and generally keep our favorite spots to ourselves. Jack welcomes any comments you have about this sport/obsession. Stay tuned for updates about An Inconvenient Trout, and if you have a good story or anecdote, send it along! Maybe he'll borrow it for his new book.

An Inconvenient Trout

Well, at long last, there will be a sequel ( a companion volume volume sounds classier, so let's go with that) to Fear of Fly Fishing. I have just signed a contract with Jay Nichols of Headwaters Books, and the new book will be published by Jay and Stackpole Books. I am thrilled to be working with Jay, who was, of late, the managing editor of Fly Fisherman magazine. John Randolph of Fly Fisherman, as well as Jay, have been enormously encouraging in my fly fishing humor career (mostly my fly fishing humor consists of me attempting to fly fish), and I am grateful to Jay for patiently recruiting me to write this new book. The delivery date for the manuscript will be March, 2008, with a fall 2008 publication date.

I will keep you posted as to the progress on the book, but also look forward to any suggestions for subject matter than any of you have. I spent most of the summer fishing in order to get the creative river flowing ( poor me), and am always open to reader thoughts.

Thanks again to Jay, and tight lines!

Congrats on the new book!

(Sorry... I have no suggestions because, sadly, I have never been fly fishing.)
