Introduction:
A SCHOOL OF TROUT
Spirited Stringer of Fishing Poetry

People who never grow tired of talking, thinking and dreaming about fishing. People who can take any topic of conversation and relate it to fishing. People who cherish the memories of fishing with loved ones. People who consider a perfectly placed cast to be beautiful art. People who listen to the stream and notice reflections in glistening lakes. People who pause to marvel at the beauty of a brookie before gently releasing it home.

These are the students of fishing. Do you ever wish you could read their minds? What secrets could they share? What more do they see to fishing than a line, hook, water and trout? A School Of Trout is your answer. It is a collection of poems depicting many angles of experience and lessons of life learned while fishing. The reading experience is much like that secret fishing spot where you first delight in the discovery, then you come to understand and love it more and more with each return, and finally you become a part of it.

"A School Of Trout is more than a book of poems, it as a collection of the memories, emotions and love experienced by passionate fishers." -- Roger B, Outdoor Utah Today

"Andy Hogan is a fishing poet. His book of poems "A School of Trout" is unique in modern fishing literature. It is filled with humor, pathos, wisdom and more than a little truth. Andy puts into words and phrases the best feelings about life and our sport that most of us share, but can't express very well. I am pleased and proud to have been able to re-print some of his poems in FISHING WYOMING."
