The Complete McClane by A. J. McClane comprises four highly selective sections, all appearing for the first time in book form. Here's How covers American angling methods in depth. Whether a fly caster or a spin fisherman, you can't help but improve your skills and chances for success with these lessons from the master: From Panfish to Piranhas, the second section, covers techniques and tactics for catching trout, bass, and salmon, among others.

Then there's The Gustatory Angler, where every fishing success has a secondo happy ending: out of the pan and onto the table. McClane, an international authority on fish cookery, includes many of his mouth-watering recipes. Finally, in Ripples and Reflections, McClane's skills as a writer shine through in these vivid recollections of favorite American rivers and famous stream-side companions such as the late Arnold Gingrich and Charles Ritz. Edited by John Merwin, himself a nationally recognised angling authority, The Complete McClane is a treasure chest that fisherman everywhere will want to place next to angling's all-time classics.
