Trout Boomer by Bill Anderson

Hey crew, looking for a copy for my PA trout fishing library. Anyone know where I can find a copy? Seems it's out of print, I know Bill is on here from time to time.

I run into him a lot on the J
I’ll ask next time I see him
You could also get hold of him on Little Juniata River Association site

Last I heard Bill had issues with a fly by night publisher that caused this to go out of print. He said he was working on a new edition with revisions and was seeking alternative arrangements (something like Stackpole would be my guess). For what it’s worth, I have a copy that I left in my truck parked in the sun while fishing and when I came back the entire binding had melted causing every page to become a loose leaf. I’d prolly wait for the new edition 😂

That is interesting, might explain a few of the glaring editing mistakes. I always wondered how you get to the point of publishing a book with a page that says "insert picture here" on it.

That’s where you’re supposed to paste in your own photo of you and your buddies enjoying the little J.

No editing and proofreading?

That's a lot like the internet.

To be clear it's a wonderful book, I am not trying to badmouth it or Bill, and would love an updated / expanded edition. I am sure publishing a book of that nature is not an inexpensive task.

This made me chuckle, well done

He has commented on updating it. It's slow because of everything he does for the organization. What people see is the tip of the iceberg.
You can google trout boomer for contact info. I would be surprised if he didn't have a few copies to sell
There was also a misplaced picture of the fly (wrong one inserted).
