When not writing his famous Western novels, Zane Grey was an insatiable angler. Tales of Southern Rivers recounts his tales of fishing in the Gulf of Mexico, the Florida Keys, the Everglades, and on remote rivers in the jungles of Mexico. With many of these venues being some of today's most popular saltwater fly-fishing destinations, no one will want to miss these highly entertaining and informative yarns. Armchair fishing will never be the same.

What a Fishing Book Should Be

I knew this was going to be an excellent book even as I opened it for the first time. With the first sentence from Zane Grey's pencil you could feel the love of the sport exude from the writing--his passion, his enthusiasm, his need to tell these stories of the Gulf Stream, the rivers of the Everglades, and his adventure down an unknown jungle river. Not only are there the incidents which happen to them as they fish--the funny, the serious, and the exciting--but Zane Grey gives you the vivid descriptions of the area as no other author can. This is an exceptional book I highly recommend to anyone, not just a angler, which I am not, by the way, just a Zane Grey fan who has wanted this book for a long time.
