Along the way, there are homages paid to Richard Brautigan and Art Flick, accidental mentoring to an underprivileged Black kid in Easton, and explorations of the inner self at Woodward Cave where enlightenment is revealed in the darkest of places. A chapter is devoted to the trials and accomplishments of his local Trout Unlimited chapter when he embraces the conservation values necessary for the sport's survival. "Rivers and streams offer an intriguing backdrop that makes the fly-fishing experience unique. In a mysterious way, they can occasionally bring out the not-so-glamourous sides of ourselves, and yet most times they nourish us in ways that promote redemption and goodness. My volunteer time participating in stream restoration reinforced my belief that our role in this world is to leave it better than we found it."- Lou Wentz, author Praise for Tributaries: "This book is delightfully different than most fly fishing books. The author gives the reader pause for thought on a broad range of relevant fishing experiences and the importance of protecting wild trout habitat.

"This fine collection of heartfelt essays reflect author Lou Wentz's lifelong devotion to the streams of eastern Pennsylvania and New York's Catskill region. As a mantra for living a meaningful life, fly-fishing has inspired Wentz's insightful words as well as motivated a dedicated effort through Trout Unlimited to give back to the small streams that have significantly touched his life. Tributaries: Fly-fishing Sojourns to the Less Traveled Streams is a splendid book destined to take the reader on a tranquil fly-fishing journey with a passionate veteran angler." - Jerry Kustich, author of Holy Water, Around the Next Bend, and three additional fly-fishing volumes.

Bread punch fishing diaries another slice
Introduced to fishing by my father, I would ride miles with a bamboo rod to fish the river Colne, which at that time was a chalkstream full of indigenous brown trout, keen to take the bait intended for the plentiful roach and dace. School friends introduced me to the mighty river Thames and then the village fishing club. Being affiliated to the London Anglers Association, regular matches were held on a variety of LAA waters, travelled to by coach on a Sunday. I soon learned from my elders the finer points of match fishing, winning many cups and more importantly for a cash strapped apprentice, pool money.Later on, sponsored match teams led to Winter Leagues and National competitions, one required learning to fish the bread punch, which I embraced to the extent that I have used the punch exclusively to fish for all members of the carp family for many years. I am now classed as a pleasure fisherman, but the bread punch continues to fill my nets, wherever I fish, be it river, lake or canal.A weekly column as Angling Correspondent for the Slough, Windsor and Maidenhead Observer for many years, led to a blog, the Urban Fieldsportsman covering a range of field sports. A natural progression from the blog was to write my first book about my angling specialty, bread punch fishing. Bread Punch Fishing Diaries was published in 2017. Bread Punch Fishing Diaries Another Slice is the culmination of another five years of exclusively fishing the Punch, on widely differing waters and how I fished them.

Black Mercuries
"An essential source on African American athletes and Olympic history." --Booklist, Starred Review, and Named a Booklist Top 10 Sports Book of 2023The first book to fully chronicle the struggles and triumphs of African American athletes in the Modern Olympic summer games.In the modern Olympic Games, from 1896 through the present, African American athletes have sought to honor themselves, their race, and their nation on the global stage. But even as these incredible athletes have served to promote visions of racial harmony in the supposedly-apolitical Olympic setting, many have also bravely used the games as a means to bring attention to racial disparities in their country and around the world.In Black Mercuries: African American Athletes, Race, and the Modern Olympic Games, David K. Wiggins, Kevin B. Witherspoon, and Mark Dyreson explore in detail the varied experiences of African American athletes, specifically in the summer games. They examine the lives and careers of such luminaries as Jesse Owens, Rafer Johnson, Wilma Rudolph, Florence Griffith-Joyner, Michael Johnson, and Simone Biles, but also many African American Olympians who have garnered relatively little attention and whose names have largely been lost from historical memory.In recounting the stories of these Black Olympians, Black Mercuries makes clear that their superior athletic skills did not always shield them from the racial tropes and insensitivity spewed by fellow athletes, the media, spectators, and many others. Yet, in part because of the struggles they faced, African American Olympians have been extraordinarily important symbolically throughout Olympic history, serving as role models to future Black athletes and often putting their careers on the line to speak out against enduring racial inequality and discriminatory practices in all walks of life.
Somewhere Under The Rainbow - Trout Fishing In Wisconsin!
If you find yourself wishing there was still a little good magic left in this world, I will share with you where I found such a piece of paradise. It is here in the many shades of green and the most beautiful fish God ever created in this land of enchantment! Sure, big is nice, but how about some of those variations in trout? I see them all the time as I share with you the beauty of Wisconsin's best-kept secret. Some experts say you need to get slightly removed from your hectic world to see things better. Fortunately, I do not have to tune out since I never really got tuned in! I ran the rat race as inconspicuously as I could, all the while trout fishing as much as possible. Fortunately, each job I ever had was in itself a labor of love behind trout, and later Wanda and trout. These stories are all true and mine to share with you. Few of my many friends know all these stories or some that are still unwritten. I have my wife's permission to say truthfully that "trout are my first love." Having been in that relationship with trout for forty-two years before meeting her is enough evidence to convince any who would say otherwise.I try to keep my life story short and void of soap opera stuff while giving you some of my most humorous situations involving mostly trout fishing in a small portion of Wisconsin's thousands of streams. Wildlife intrusions are involved in this story as well as my greatly missed best friend, his remaining descendant, "Colt Gang," and my new entourage of fisher persons. I will share with you just a few of the many great people changing my story as it developed itself. I tell of fishing days on my Wisconsin streams that you might find tough to beat anywhere else. And Dave's Wisconsin Record Rainbow Trout was discussed more than six months before he caught it.You never know what tomorrow might bring in the way of a story even if you stay home. It has been quite a ride, and with retirement life, it got simpler and full of wonder. Wonder how I might have gotten here sooner with better health to fish? I am after all on this journey, still looking to continue to the good end. There were also a couple encounters with weather I chose not to tell: The five-headed lightning bolt had split high above my head, started one tree afire and two others smoldering when it struck all about me as I climbed out of the stream; and the top third of an old oak tree on the bank forty feet above was twisted off and dropped by the wind into the stream right where my fiancee and I had just finished fishing. Please enjoy my stories, even a few I may have survived.I wish you the very best life can offer.

With fascinating portraits of notable individuals in the history of Black activism, as well as insights from athletes and allies who discuss the future of athlete activism, The Black Athlete Revolt reveals the ever-evolving and crucial role of Black athletes beyond the world of sports.
