Blood Knot

Award-winning author Pete Fromm has earned a reputation as one of the brightest literary voices in the wilderness of outdoor writing, and this collection of ten of his finest fishing stories clearly demonstrates why. From unlikely high school friends to a father wishing to keep pace with his ever-changing teenage son to a young boy trying to fit in with his older sister's boyfriend's crowd, each story's characters love fishing, and their fishing experiences are at the core of this book. Although the fish range from the smallest beaver-pond brook trout to the hulking but invisible paddle fish, in the end it's the people -- as varied as the fish they pursue -- who'll draw you into their lives and hold on to a piece of you long after the stories end.
