Reviews for Megalops
"It's a rare fishing book these days that leaves you wanting more,
but Tosh Brown's Megalops fits the bill nicely...a lively and thoughtful
homage to tarpon." - Christopher Camuto
- Gray's Sporting Journal
"As
the subtitle suggests, this isn't a how-to book ... Brown weaves a
combination of humor, whimsy, history, speculation and some genuinely
great fish stories to capture the obsession with tarpon ... What makes
Megalops shine is the writing. It has style and voice, rarities in the
fishing book business."
- Art Scheck - Saltwater Fly Fishing
"Brown
pours out the details of his passion for tarpon in this charming little
book ... a book that's not only pleasing to read, but also pleasing to
own."
Steve Raymond - Fly
Fishing in Salt Waters
"There's tactical information in
Megalops ... but (Brown) mostly remains bemused by various debates; his
job isn't to offer answers, rather to share affection and sing
hallelujah to the choir, to drop a few stories and laughter into the
plate of collected lore." - Seth

A Fine
Time in Key West - May 26, 2001!
Many thanks to Jeffrey Cardenas for hosting
a great evening of book signing, tackle shopping and fish stories at his
Saltwater Angler Fly Shop
in Key West. There were lots of tarpon fishermen in town and Jeffrey put
on a fabulous evening for all in attendance. And, as you might guess,
Tosh got in a little fishing as well during his stay.
