Kathy Scott's most recent title, Brook Trout Forest is, in our humble opinion, the best one yet. This charming non-fiction narrative is set in the rural cabin country of Maine, but reaches beyond as the plot includes a hoped-for field trip for the local youth fishing group. Illustrations abound, as will your relaxation and enjoyment. A pleasure to hold, since it's a real book, and a pleasure to read. Add this to your fly fishing literature or bamboo rod making book collection.

It wasn't difficult to decide that "Bass Cowboy" needed to join the cast of characters here at The Painted Trout. For one thing, fishing for bass is one of the best kept open secrets in our neck of the fly fishing woods. And for another, it's a bank. Yes, you heard rightly, pardner -- it's a bank! How's THAT for smarts? The sand-cast, hand-finished bass is aluminum, with a single screw you can undo when the bank is full. Your solid bronze cowboy is removable (you'll put your coins in the slot where he sits). About 13 inches long, 8 1/2 inches high. Saving your pesos can't get more fun than this!
