James L. – NIGHT FISHING FOR TROUT – 1973 1st edition
– 159p – Freshet Press, Rockville Centre, NY – I knew
Jim Bashline personally, and you have my word on this, Jim was the real
thing, a well know PA. master angler who became the editor of Field &
Stream. The following excerpt from the book pretty well describes the contents
of this work: “Your favorite trout stream has a side you may never
have seen. Most fishermen think that the average stream contains at best
only moderate-sized trout. A few hours spent exploring the fascinatingly
changed world of the night-time trout steam would make them see things differently.
Regardless of fishing pressure, every trout stream has big trout in some
of its stretches, and big trout feed mostly at night. There comes a time
in every season when stream temperatures reach a critical point and conditions
become just right to put trout on the prowl at night. When this magic moment
arrives, the season’s best fishing can be had - by the handful of
specialists who know the excitement and pleasures of taking trout after
dark. The slick tail of a large pool that seems empty of life during the
heat of the day often boils with trophy-size trout at night. Night Fishing
can help you take them.” – Signed by Author -
