You'll Need a Guide is a humorous account, rich with reflection on the human condition, of guided fishing trips from the McCloud River of Northern California to the Middle Bight of Andros Island.

You'll Need a Guide is the product of a writing itch he first felt as an undergraduate on the staff of the Yale Record, the college humor magazine. The fishing stories he tells blend humor and insight with well-crafted descriptions of the places where he fishes and people he fishes with and meets along the way. They are drawn from a lifetime of wetting a line in places as different as the Blau River in Germany and the Los Roques "pancake flats" off Venezuela. Craig's literary lodestar is Red Smith, whose iconoclastic and warm style appeared in newspaper columns for over fifty years. He and his wife, Diana, live in St. Petersburg, Florida.For more information, please visit author Marshall Craig online: http: //www.CraigLit.Life
