Whew. I'd say you are being generous. Didn't read the whole thing, just
a
few chunks from various chapters, but...if I can paraphrase myself...
Ick.


I found the later half more, shall we say, not as decent but I've read
worse. Not a ringing endorsement but still a better read then "Zipping my
Fly".


I chugged through simply to find out what happened to the marlin from
the first half of the book, but I think you're right. It might have too
much fishing to appeal to a journalist audience and too much
newspapering to appeal to the fishing audience. I did come away with
titles and authors for a few books about the Delaware that may be
interesting.
