Tight Lines: Ten Years of the Yale Anglers’ Journal

Illustrator: James Prosek Publisher: Yale University Press   Since the first copy of the Yale Anglers' Journalappeared in 1996, readers with an interest in fish and fishing have opened the pages of each issue with anticipation and delight. YAJ's founders suspected that others would share their passion for literature and art related to angling; what they had not fully anticipated was the intensity of enthusiasm from readers and writers everywhere. Perhaps they shouldn't have been surprised. Some 35 million Americans regularly fish, and among their numbers are presidents and students, old and young, the famous and the unknown, the busy and the idle. Tight Lines: Ten Years of the Yale Anglers' Journal presents a selection of 50 stories, recollections, essays, and poems featured in the Yale Anglers' Journal during its first remarkable decade, and the volume is lavishly illustrated with more than 30 original paintings by James Prosek.
