Build your skills, then chase trout with confidence. This two-book Winchester Press bundle pairs Kenn Oberrecht’s hands-on Practical Angler’s Guide (1978) with Frank Woolner’s Trout Hunting (1977).
Together they cover tackle, maintenance, casting, lures and flies, seasonal strategy, and real-world tactics. It’s a durable, jacketed set for anglers, cabin libraries, and gift-givers.
Edition & Features
Both volumes include indexes; clear B/W photographs and figures; practical technique chapters. Jackets now protected in fresh archival sleeves.
Grade: Good overall (see individual notes). Light jacket edge wear and minor shelf rubs; clean interiors; tight bindings; mild page-edge toning typical of age.
Estate-sourced from Michigan’s Great Lakes Bay Region. Great as a gift bundle for the angler who appreciates classic outdoor writing.
This 1977 to 1978 Winchester Press pair, both in blue cloth with printed jackets now in archival sleeves, suits a trout angler's shelf. If it's the right copy for you, it's ready to come home.

Read the full Return and Refund
Every listing spells it out and shows it in photos. Chips, hairlines, crazing, worn plating, old repairs. If I did not mention it, it is not there.
Yes. Every photo is the actual piece, taken by me. When it sells, it is gone.
I note maker, mark, era, and measurements when I can confirm them, and say so plainly when I cannot. Unmarked pieces get dated by what the piece itself shows.
I process your order within 1 business day, wrapped and boxed so it arrives the way it left here. Don't forget, free shipping on orders $35 and up.
