""The classic compendium of stories, tall tales, and humor about fishing and the outdoors with rare photos and etchings"--Cover."
"This virtual treasure trove of amusing anecdotes, profound insights, and recollections of fly fishing and camping moments too marvelous (and sometimes too frustrating) to forget resurfaces for its fortieth anniversary. Sparse Grey Hackle's classic is a mixture of sentiment and hilarity. This fortieth anniversary edition--complete with a new introduction by the author's longtime friend, editor, and fellow fisherman, Nick Lyons, is sure to be a favorite of the next generation of fly fishermen and women."@en

"FISHING, ANGLING. "Fishless Days, Angling Nights" is a rich and varied treasury of the best writing by the "Dean of American Fly Fishermen." There is lighthearted philosophy and profound insight into the character of fishermen and campers. There are hilarious pieces such as "Who Is Sparse Grey Hackle?" and starkly vivid recollections of the terrors of night fishing. And throughout there are memorable portraits of the great anglers he knew, like Edward R. Hewitt and George M.L. LaBranche. This is a book for anyone interested in the very finest writing about the great outdoors."@en
