This new edition is a major encore for Vic Dunaway, whose byline has been known to anglers all over the country, and in foreign lands as well, for more than 40 years. He has written hundreds of articles for national and regional magazines, and thousands of newspaper columns. He is, of course, a book author and also has appeared on four different television networks, as well as numerous local and syndicated programs.
