The Trout King: Trouble Lurks Beneath for Two Rival Fishermen Who Clash on and Off the Water, Risking What the Value Most

Rating:
Summary: Straight Fiction that Does the Job
Review: I liked this book. I'm surprised because usually I'm not a big fan of "straight" fiction. This is a story of a boy and his father, the competition between two fly-fishers and two families. The telling is written well with all the main plot of the competition for 'Trout King' tied in well with the subplots of a boy and his love and loss of love for fishing and the strains of two families. Pickhardt writes well and is at ease with the
story he's telling. I give this book an A. Not a favorite or highly recommended but it does it's job, to tell the story, and it does it well.
