On the Run by Dave DiBenedetto is a great one. He (he's currently the Editor in Chief at Garden and Gun, previously Editor in Chief at SaltWater Sportsman) follows the fall striper run from Kennebec, ME, to Cape Hatteras, NC. Lots of discussion on the history, conservation, and science of the fish that built America in there, plus he meets a number of the striper "greats" and has some good fishing stories in there as well.

I'm always looking for a good fishing book and would like to know what members here consider their favorite fishing book. What books do you consider classics and a must read?I will be on vacation next week and need reading material. Also, a few years ago I started collecting fishing related books and I'm always looking for more titles to add to my collection.My personal preference isn't "How To" type books, I enjoy reading Fishing Lifestyle type books or Essay Collection and Memoirs from legendary anglers like Tom McGuane. I just finished reading the latest from John Gierach. "All Fishermen are Liars" It was more of the same from him.Here are a few of my favorites:"Tales of Virgin Seas" by Zane Grey. Grey may be better known for writing westerns but he was a prolific angler and adventurer."Fly Fishing Through the Midlife Crisis" by Howell Raines. The Majority of this book is written about local waters."Trout Bum" John Gierach. This book is why I became interested in fly fishing. There aren't many good books on the lifestyle of a gear and bait fisherman.If anyone has any suggestions, I'd like to hear them.Best,Bob

"There are 10 types of people in this world, those who know binary, and those who don't"
I would second anything by Robert Traver.
I also really enjoyed crosscurrents by James Babb.
If you like outdoor literature, you should really subscribe to Gray's Sporting Journal.
