Summer brings great weather and longer days which makes for good porch-sitting weather. There is no better way to relax than with an entertaining or informative book on fly fishing. I am a reader, and like most readers, I like to be surrounded by my books.
Usually by this time in July, the grass is turning brown, the rivers are low and like bath water. This year, however, my lawn is luscious green and the bushes are out of control.
