About the Book
Are you angling for trout but hooking
only Other Fish in the Sea? Ladies, we’re not talking about seafood.
If
men were fish and women the anglers, trout would be the good guys women want to
land, Other Fish in the Sea the fellows who make women’s lives miserable. How
do you differentiate between the keepers and the losers? A Girl’s Pocket Guide to Trouser Trout illuminates the often-murky
waters of the dating pool with insights inspired by fly-fishing techniques and
advice.
A Girl’s Pocket Guide to Trouser Trout helps a woman define her own angling style in the
hunt for her trophy trout. This witty, sometimes spicy book dishes information
on Other Fish in the Sea to avoid, quality streams to fish (good places to meet
good men), leader lines to cast (conversation openers), and natural,
artificial, and exotic lures to utilize. What to do when the fishing hole runs
dry, prospects for angling in the later years, trouser trout tips, and tall
tales of trout landed or lost round out the book.
A Girl’s Pocket Guide to Trouser Trout won first place in the nonfiction book category of
the 18th Annual SouthWest Writers Writing
Contest.
About the Author
Gail
Rubin, a public relations professional, is a trouser trout angling expert.
During her 30-year angling career, she dated many swell trouser trout as well
as her share of blowfish, crabs and urchins. Ms. Rubin knows, from personal
experience, what puts the “ick” in ichthyology. First
married in 1983, she resumed trolling following a 1988 divorce. After years of
casting for a keeper, she landed her trophy trout and married again in December
2000.
