Free fly fishing books

[wbranch]

Are any members interested in any free ff books? Pick up only at my home. I have others but no pictures. Most first editions. Some like "Selective Trout", "Spring Creeks", and a few others are staying.

That's a very nice gesture! I have that same Trout Fishing by Joe Brooks first edition. My very first trout fishing book.

I have a number of the books in the pic. I agree that it is nice of you to offer these. I hope that some "young lions" scoop them up and read them.

I have that book and a 1958 edition of his "The Complete Book of Fly Fishing". I met him in Montana and tied flies for him.

I figured I'm not going to get any better than I am now so maybe someone younger fly fisher can find some of the pleasure I did in these books.

What an experience that must have been.

It might sound silly but he was my idol. I admired him. So when I met him it was very fulfilling.

This is off topic, and I apologize wbranch, but the Joe Brooks documentary on YouTube is worth watching.

There is also a Joe Brooks Facebook page.
