That said, however, one of the best fishing books ever, IMO is _The Hell
With Fishing_, courtesy of Webster and Zern

I can't seem to locate my copy of that book at the moment, but I
believe Ed illustrated all his books himself, as he also illustrated
his F&S collumns and the Nash ads in sporting mags.

His sketches may look a bit like Webster's, but they're Ed's. I've
watched him sketch people while carrying on a conversation with them.

Out of curiosity, I just googled Ed Zern, and found a site with a
number of his cartoons:

(and let's not leave out the
other "The Hell With...." books)...heck, it was probably an instant
classic...
