"It's been a lifelong, ever-expanding journey, with many big ?sh and faraway waters and dramatic moments . . . and yet I don't think any of those moments or any of those places or ?sh has thrilled me any more than seeing the twitch of my ?y line where it entered the muddy waters of my backyard pond . . ." In this collection of ?y-?shing stories from acclaimed novelist and outdoor writer William G. Tapply, the natural appeal of ?y ?shing comes to life. Each story in Every Day Was Special was previously published in Tapply's back-page column, "Reading the Currents" in American Angler, or in Gray's Sporting Journal, or in Field & Stream. From "Dam It" to "First Light" to "When Trout Get Antsy," these thirty re-readable pieces are unique in their own ways, and yet, all are classic Tapply. These writings serve as testament to the thrill of ?shing, the inimitable energy of casting at daybreak, and the innocence of streamside summers. No library descriptions found. |

Tapply's a good writer, but this work falls flat; descriptive but lacking insight or any semblance of an "ah-ha" moment that fires the imagination.
Tapply takes us along on a lifetime's worth of fishing adventures, but never goes much beyond a relatively dry description of the trips.
Tapply's earlier books are better, though this work is simply not in the same league as fly fishing's bigger fish (Gierach, Leeson, etc). ( )
