Special Offering-A Passion For Tarpon
Country Pleasures has available a very limited number of Andy Mill's new book A PASSION FOR TARPON. Not available at any other fly shops at this time.
Going fast, drop by the shop to pick up yours!
Here is the book the fly-fishing world has long been waiting for—Andy Mill’s A Passion for Tarpon. And it is spellbinding. In clear, concise language, the author personally guides the reader through the entire strategy of what it takes to successfully fool today’s often finicky tarpon into eating your fly. As in Andy’s own fishing, nothing is left to chance. Everything is explored in engaging and entertaining detail: intuitively reading the fish, choosing effective flies for each situation, selecting the right tackle, honing your casting and presentation techniques, tricks for feeding the fish, critical advice on how to set the hook, the secrets to fighting tarpon efficiently and quickly.
As if all this weren’t enough, A Passion for Tarpon is much more than a cutting-edge fishing manual. Artfully interspersed among the author’s colorful and illuminating tactical chapters are remarkable, in-depth interviews with a dazzling lineup of renowned professional tarpon guides and rabid anglers—a veritable “who’s who” from the world of tarpon fishing. Some are legends. Some are reclusive. All are interesting. Collectively these alpha tarpon hunters have experienced hundreds of years on the flats. Their rich stories—many told here for the first time—of obsession with this singular, leaping, lustrous demon are thrilling and authentic. This riveting running narrative gets as close to the soul of why we chase tarpon as anything in print.
The original photography of Pat Ford, with spectacular two-page color spreads separating all the principal chapters, makes the book a visual feast.
Breathtaking in scope, A Passion for Tarpon by Andy Mill is destined to become one of the great fly-fishing books of all time.

Passion For Tarpon
I got my copy of Passion for Tarpon about 2 weeks ago. Pretty stunning book, just what I expected from Andy Mill.
A quote from the publisher sums it up:
"I cannot say enough about this magnificent production—it is no ordinary fishing book. Everything you have heard is true and then some! One of our seasoned and not easily impressed proofreaders was so excited that he said he felt as if he were alternately reading Krakhauer and Hemingway; another said it may be the most well-rounded fishing book he has ever read. You are in for a real treat". —Thomas R. Pero
The publisher is not making this book available to distributors or shops, you have to buy it direct.
Unfortunately, the shipping charge is sick! ($100 USD book, $50 shipping). It does get better if you order lots. I am ordering a bunch in a few weeks. To save on shipping you can call us and we'll add one to our order and get shipping down under $20/book. * You do have to pay us for the book first though.
