Ed Zern: The Fisher King of DrollThe Tackle Box[3 April 2007] by Chris JusticeLike any curmudgeon, Ed Zern criticized everything, including himself, the sport, and other anglers because they all periodically blocked his path to the river.
The Tackle Box
Myth-Making DolphinsChris Justice10.Jul.08 They're transporters of the souls of the dead, per Dante, transporters of tools and messages, per the US military, and friends to man, per the popular dolphinariums. 
The Real CreelChris Justice30.Apr.08 Creels contain volumes of wonderfully imaginative “catches” that, unlike the box’s contents in the myth, unleash a swarm of positive stories and memories that continue life’s flow. 
Shad: An Undeniably American IconChris Justice27.Mar.08 Emerson spoke of it in a eulogy for Thoreau, not long after, it fueled Doherty and his cavalry in their relentless pursuit of Booth -- no wonder McPhee calls it America's "founding fish".

Thanks for the article on Ed Zern. I grew up reading my dad’s Field & Stream magazines. The highlight for me was Mr. Zern’s monthly column Exit Laughing.
The Madison Avenue Rod, Gun, Bloody Mary, and Labrador Retriever Benevolent Association, or MARGBM&LRBA;, was about the wittiest thing this 12 year old boy had ever read and no doubt helped shape me into the person, for good or bad, that I am today.
Thanks for the memories.
