Books, Arts & Manners: Cruel May

The Fly Fisher’s Reader, by Leonard M. Wright Jr. (Fireside Books, 233 pp., $19.95)

MAY is the cruelest month for the desk-bound fly fisher. Outside his office window the glass and concrete towers are suffused with sunlight, which only reminds him that the trout streams are warming and the tiny mayflies are hatching. This little book arrives just in time. Leonard Wright’s “unabashedly biased sampling of angling’s finest literature” provides some respite from the itch to head for the hills.
