Zane Grey, America’s master storyteller of the old West, was a passionate angler. He fished as many as three hundred days of the year. This collection, first published in 1925, describes his fishing adventures in exotic locales throughout the Pacific region.

These stories capture the drama and excitement that Grey experienced in being the first person to fish many waters―from the Galapagos Islands to Cabo San Lucas―and in being the first to catch and document many new species of fish. No lover of Zane Grey storytelling will want to miss these real-life adventures.

The Los Angeles Times listed Tales of Fishing Virgin Seas as one of the best nonfiction books of 2000.
