Description
Book SynopsisA 'lost classic' by Joseph Heywood, beloved author of mysteries set among fisherman and hunters. Reissued and featuring brand new material since the original edition, this collection of essays and fishing tales helps readers understand the extent of Heywood’s passion for the sport, and revel in his own admission: he rarely catches any!Trade Review"The writing is often polished rough, like the Upper Peninsula. At times it can sing as sweetly as a warbler. It is at times as gentle as the current of a small creek only to suck you into complacency and dump you like a slippery midstream rock. And, this is something I found particularly inviting: at the end it leaves you wanting to know more." --Sault Evening News "His writing is suffused with wit, but it can also be moving. A very special book, for anglers, of course, but also for those who appreciate a finely wrought memoir." --Publishers Weekly "Joseph Heywood is like the fine win he enjoys-he gets better with age. In Covered Waters, Joe hooked me right from the first page. Heywood made me laugh, got me a bit choked up and usually kept a smile on my face and an eager anticipation for the next page with his earthy, pithy delivery." -- Kalamazoo Gazette "Michigan has no shortage of great fishing writers. Heywood is one of them. But he's also something else: Heywood is a terrific writer. Period. They are terrific reads and rank right up with the work of big names like Grisham and Clancy." -- Enquirer (Battle Creek, MI)
