"From the rocky coast of Maine to the Florida Keys, from the lakes of New England and the salt-water marshes of the Carolinas to the rivers of Canada - here is the Number One man of America's Number One sport. Millions of Americans can't be wrong - fishing is fun. And 'Gadabout's' adventures and misadventures are almost as much fun as plucking a reluctant trout from the water. In his inimitable warm and friendly style, 'Gad' tells about his boyhood days when the fishin' bug bit him, the many places he's fished, the hints and tricks he's discovered, and how, with his personal airplane, he's able to fly where the fish are whenever the urge moves him. If you are a sportsman, fisherman, or would-be fisherman, 'Gadabout's' fishing tales will provide you with the sights, suspense, thrills, and fun of America's great out-of-doors."
