Fish Won't Let Me Sleep brims with over two dozen chapters on varying aspects of the sport. In "Roamin' the Gloaming,? Babb hilariously comments on some of the more peculiar idioms of his chosen passion. The aptly titled "Snide and Prejudice,? reflects on the companionship, friendships, and occasional animosities that arise from fishing with others. And in "Simple Gifts,? Babb muses on the eternal bane and gift of all fly fishermen-the weather.
Echoing the tone of great writers such as Mark Twain, Annie Dillard, and John Gierach, Babb's poignant prose and witty observations are true testaments to the unparalleled wit of an American master.
Skyhorse Publishing is proud to publish a broad range of books for fishermen. Our books for anglers include titles that focus on fly fishing, bait fishing, fly-casting, spin casting, deep sea fishing, and surf fishing. Our books offer both practical advice on tackle, techniques, knots, and more, as well as lyrical prose on fishing for bass, trout, salmon, crappie, baitfish, catfish, and more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to publishing books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked by other publishers and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.
