Books
Alongside painting, I ventured into the exciting world of writing. What began as a single book for my granddaughter—created to help her learn the basics of fishing—has grown into a series of books. This creative journey continues to evolve hand in hand with my painting, as the two art forms naturally complement and inspire one another.
About Each Book
The Traveling Angler: Catch Fish Wherever You Go By John Little From quiet mountain streams to wide-open salt flats, The Traveling Angler is more than a fishing guide — it’s a journey into the heart of adventure itself. John Little, artist, author, a lifelong outdoorsman, Retired Police Officer, U.S. Coast Guard veteran, and avid fisherman, blends hard-earned wisdom with vivid storytelling to remind readers that the best catches aren’t always measured in pounds or inches. With reflections from his time on waters across the country, he shares how to find success wherever your travels take you — from the science of reading the water to the art of patience, instinct, and respect for nature. Part memoir, part how-to, and all heart, The Traveling Angler invites you to slow down, cast with purpose, and reconnect with what truly matters — the pursuit, the peace, and the stories waiting beyond every bend in the river. Sometimes the best stories aren’t about the fish we catch, but the places the journey takes us.
