Thought it might be fun and useful to post a list of my Fishing book collection here and hope others will do the same.

    Howard Brant is a well known writer in New Jersey as he was the Outdoors Editor of the Newark NJ ‘StarLedger’ read by a big population of fishermen . He was an expert fly Tier and frequent contributor to major outdoor magazines . Halfway through this fine little 1972 Garcia published pamphlet I am interested in finding more of Howard Brant’s writings.
    The Garcia Company was a great asset for a Ringwood New Jerseyan . I once dropped a Cardinal model reel in the driveway and it broke .I took it for a 45 minute ride to the Garcia Plant on Laws Drive in Fairfield NJ out on Rt . 46.This was probably the mid 80's.The Gentleman who greeted me at the desk put a new side plate on free of charge.   May be an image of text that says 'HOW TO arcia 8921 CATCH TROUT BY HOWARD BRANT'The writing was on the wall that the plant was subduing to the unwelcome changes in American Industry as it was selling stock like these pamphlets and Royal Bonyl Fishing leader line at reduced prices at least as I recall. Needless to say i took advantage and fished the Brown Royal Bonyl leader material for years and it worked beautifully .I even probably have a little left ! I have several of these concise well written and informative pamphlets with the beautiful illustrations and treasure them .
