"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.
