Follow in the footsteps of Dennis Dauble while he hikes wilderness trails in search of one more trout, manages his expectations for steelhead, and is attacked by a madcap donkey. Learn what donuts, memory tests, underpants dreams, and zingers have to do with fishing. Share his thoughts while he casts into the twilight to retrieve memories of long-time fishing pals and beloved family members. As Dauble aptly points out — through both humor and sage insight — the golden years are not always golden, but really all you can do is go fishing!
Praise for Casting into the Twilight
“Dennis Dauble has a wonderful way with words. They let you travel right beside him, as though you were there, while he visits special places and special events that have infused his long life with the kind of meaning that everyone seeks. You can sense the same things that he does, the beloved sights and sounds and aromas of a world that enriches those fortunate enough to live in the moment. And you can feel in your heart the impact that he does when he and you round a corner in life’s journey together and encounter another, often painful, event. You probably will read this book more than once. It’s too good to let go of too soon.”

Whether you like dropping a size 16 Griffith’s Gnat into a dark pool of a mountain stream or just enjoy a good tale told with humility and wit, you will not be disappointed in this collection of excellent anecdotes. I can just envision the author telling these stories while poking a stick into a campfire, sipping on a cool beverage, next to a babbling creek. A very pleasing read for sure!”
