Críticas:

"The writing is often polished rough, like the Upper Peninsula. At times it can sing as sweetly as a warbler. It is at times as gentle as the current of a small creek only to suck you into complacency and dump you like a slippery midstream rock. And, this is something I found particularly inviting: at the end it leaves you wanting to know more." --Sault Evening News "His writing is suffused with wit, but it can also be moving. A very special book, for anglers, of course, but also for those who appreciate a finely wrought memoir." --Publishers Weekly "Joseph Heywood is like the fine win he enjoys-he gets better with age. In Covered Waters, Joe hooked me right from the first page. Heywood made me laugh, got me a bit choked up and usually kept a smile on my face and an eager anticipation for the next page with his earthy, pithy delivery." -- Kalamazoo Gazette "Michigan has no shortage of great fishing writers. Heywood is one of them. But he's also something else: Heywood is a terrific writer. Period. They are terrific reads and rank right up with the work of big names like Grisham and Clancy." -- Enquirer (Battle Creek, MI)

Reseña del editor:

Originally published in 2003, Covered Waters is a "forgotten classic" by Joseph Heywood. Now back in print and featuring new material, this collection of autobiographical essays and fishing tales helps readers understand the extent of Heywood s passion for the sport, especially in his native waters of Michigan. Covered Waters covers an outdoorsman s wanderings and wonderings about fishing and life, and how the two are often interconnected. These episodes include reminiscences of his days in the U.S. Air Force, training to drop nukes on the Soviet Union in the Cold War; his temporary but intense obsession with bear hunting (which ended the moment he finally killed a bear); and, of course, his international adventures in fishing, recounting such hilarious scenes as two women in France engaged in what appeared to be strip fishing. After fishing the world over, Heywood finds that there is no water like home water, and no fishing partners like old friends."
