Norris on Trout Fishing samples both the expertise & the generous warmth that made Thaddeus Norris (1811'1877) such a beloved figure in American angling. From his wise portrayal of the many types of anglers, to the biology & behavior of native American brook trout, to his touching portrait of the now-extinct Michigan grayling, Norris set a standard for American angling thought that educated & inspired succeeding generations & still offers us both provocation & wisdom today. His concluding essay on the joys of fly fishing alone is regarded as a primary milestone of angling philosophy that set the tone for the philosophical explorations of many later writers from Arnold Gingrich to Ernest Schwiebert to John Gierach.
