I used to fish the Border rivers, but nowadays you have to queue up for a shot and I can't stand that.

I live in a beautiful part of the world - western New Hampshire along the Baker River - and my family and I spend a lot of time outdoors.

Fishing seems to be the favorite form of loafing.

I am an avid fisherman, and my daily schedule is to write in the morning and then go fishing in the afternoon. In Maine, I fish mostly for stripers, and in the Florida Keys, I go after all kinds of game fish.

There are always new places to go fishing. For any fisherman, there's always a new place, always a new horizon.

I grew up in New Hampshire. My closest neighbor was a mile away. The deer and the raccoons were my friends. So I would spend time walking through the woods, looking for the most beautiful tropical thing that can survive the winter in the woods in New Hampshire.

If we ever have free time, my partner and I are fond of going on walks through the local state forests and parks.

Every city has a town outside with a lake. I pull out my fishing pole and fish. I've been doing that for a long time.

Fishing is much more than fish. It is the great occasion when we may return to the fine simplicity of our forefathers.
