Wide and Deep: Tales and Recollections from a Master Maine Fishing Guide

Description

A collection of stories from one of Maine's master fishing guides. There is little about the remote town Grand Lake Stream, in eastern Maine, and its surrounding lakes that Randy Spencer doesn't know like the back of his hand. Spencer, a Master Maine Guide, has learned from the best, and has enough experience as a hunting and fishing guide to fill several lifetimes.

Randy Spencer is a Master Maine Guide based out the Maine town of Grand Lake Stream. In addition to guiding, he is a freelance writer, a songwriter, and a voiceover artist. In 2008, Yankee Magazine named Spencer one of the "25 People You Need to Meet Most This Summer." His first book, Where Cool Waters Flow, was named the Best Book of 2010 by the New England Outdoor Writers Association.

*2015 New England Society Book Award - Contemporary Nonfiction Book of the Year* *2015 New England Outdoor Writers Award - Book of the Year* *2015 Outdoor Writers Association of America - Book of the Year* "Reading Wide and Deep quickens the pulse of anyone who loves dawn on the water, a filling campfire lunch, or sunset on a far shore. The great strength of Wide and Deep lies in its power to endure. Like fishing season itself, the power of Spencer's stories is that they can come around again and again. Read ten or twenty years hence, they will reveal the same truths as they do today." New Hampshire/Vermont Outdoor Gazette "As he did in his debut book, Spencer spins yarns with the well-practiced skill of a natural storyteller ... Wide and Deep, while plenty lengthy, still feels too short. That's a credit to Spencer, whose prose flows like those cool waters at an enjoyable, refreshing pace."
