Jason has a pretty normal life: he lives with his mom, he goes to school, he does his homework. But when he meets a short, bluish alien named Sam, his life begins to seem much less normal and a lot more...well, alien. Sam takes Jason bongo fishing in space, and a whole new world opens up. But when Jason's cat, Sputnik, disappears, things start to get a little weird. Interstellar travel isn't just fun and games, after all! Is the evil Dr. Zimburger involved? Or are there even more sinister forces at work?

It also offers secret tips on promising locations to find fish, how to "read" water, and what flies work best on what fish in what types of water and weather conditions. Safety on land and on water are also stressed and discussed thoroughly, as is environmental respect and conservation.

This is the third edition of his book and was published in 1920. Excerpts from the book: However intimate any man's acquaint- ance with the habits of trout may be, there comes not infrequently a day on which it proves distressingly insufficient. The water is in splendid order, the air is volatile, and the lures seem right ; but not a trout will rise. This shows that the science of angling is still far from being exact. In the British Islands the sport has been a favourite for centuries. By means of rods and lines, books of flies, and cases of minnow-tackle, as well as by oral tradition and literature, instruction in it has been passed on, constantly revised and expanded, from generation to generation ; yet there always have been, and appar- ently there always will be, days on which, even if his life depended on his doing so, the most expert angler could not, by fair means, catch a single trout. Often these days are to all appearance quite like days on which the fish rose at the fly well and the basket was quickly filled ; but somehow or other knowledge lingers, the most experienced skill is baffled. It is not that all the trout are asleep or fast- ing. Although they will not look at any of the lures you offer, here and there you see one rising or " tailing " ; or it may be that a rapidly moving upheaval of the water shows that a large old trout is rushing at a young one. The fish, or some of them, are obviously not alto- gether abstinent from food ; but the task of catching them passes the wit of man.
