I always thought that Reading the Water was one of the best fishing books ever written. I have literally hundreds of fishing books in my library from Ernest Hemingway to Nick Karas and Mr. Post's book gets pulled open the most.
Bob Post did an extrodinary job on writing Reading the Water. I have re-read it several times and I am again in the process of reading it. I am not certain what it is about the stories that make me re-read them. Perhaps the honesty with which they are written. Maybe it is the excitement the writer conveys that we, who chase Stripers, all feel in the middle of a pitch black night in October on a lonely stretch of beach when we feel the take and the pull of a moby fish.
Just a great book!
