The Earth is Enough...Growing Up in a World of Flyfishing, Trout & Old Men
by Harry Middleton
It is the year 1965, a year rife with change in the world -- and in the life of a boy whose tragic loss of innocence leads him to the healing landscape of the Ozarks. Haunted by indescribable longing, twelve-year-old Harry is turned over to two enigmatic guardians, men as old as the hills they farm and as elusive and beautiful as the trout they fish for -- with religious devotion. Seeking strength and purpose from life, Harry learns from his uncle, grandfather and their crazy Sioux neighbor, Elias Wonder, that the very pulse of life beats from within the deep constancy of the earth, and from one's devotion to it. Amidst the rhythm of an ancient cadence, Harry discovers his home: a farm, a forest, a mountain stream, and the eye of a trout rising.

A Fly Fisherman's Blue Ridge
by Christopher Camuto
One of those "good read" books for enthusiasts of wild southern trout. According to The New York Times Book Review, "This work of homage to wild native brook trout, a seasonal journal of a year-round fisherman, is a fishing book that never dwells on how the hero played the big fish. Camuto makes knowing the woods and the rivers at least as important as the fish."
