A Compilation of Muskie Fishing Stories from the Mountain State

In 1974, JIM, a fisherman, settled in West Virginia and its woods and waters. While fishing Elk River, he meets two anglers, BALL HAT, and SMILEY, who surprise him with a token of continuing friendship. While fishing this same river, JIM befriends an old man named DELBERT. The old man passes on his discerning wisdom of nature's hidden language that JIM might know the soul and song of nature, the river, and its people. Over those twelve years, JIM built relationships with many people, on and off the river. This book is a remembrance of those days gone.
