About this item
Taut Lines is an anthology of fishing tales like no other. Many of the stories are written by females, bringing a relationship twist to this male-dominated pastime. Pierce has extended the field, to push the reader beyond the usual, and predictable, anthologies of man against fish. These stories are broader in their reach and sweep; they present a wide emotional range.
