fishing/sea books

The Sea Wiolf - Jack London. One of my all time favs. Not so much about fishing, but about the sea.

also, Moby Dick - Melville.

A River Runs Through It if freshwater fishing is fine.

Joseph Conrad obviously. He wrote a number of sea themed novel, and unlike hacks normally writing these things, he in fact was experienced sailor. Just don't start with Nostromo. It's immensely complex and difficult read.

Freshwater fishing is totally fine, that's what I have a mild amount of experience in actually.

I really liked The Sea Wolf as well. Really great character development and interesting plot.

James Hamilton-Paterson's 'Seven-Tenths: The Sea and its Thresholds' is an excellent non-fiction book about the sea. It's a mixture of science, history, and geography, tied together by the writer's own observations.

Thor Heyerdahl - Kon Tiki
Jacques Cousteau - Silent World

old man and the sea isn't about a fisherman per se. it's about an artist, his art, and getting older.

nostromo is difficult. it was my first Conrad though and although boring in parts, it was an overall solid read.
