Description: ""Fishing stories have been a part of my life from the time I was old enough to hold a cane pole to the present, when I am in the autumn of my life." In his latest collection of tales, Jerry Apps includes recollections and stories of fishing--some told by his father, some by his brothers, and many from his own memory and journal entries. He recalls a lifetime of fishing for food, for fun, and for the valuable life lessons fishing provides: patience, family bonding, and enjoying all nature has to offer"-- Provided by publisher.
