I read a small paper back when I was a kid rained in for several days in Canada. I would love to know what it was but I don't know the title or the author.

It was about a boy who had it kind of rough at home. He would go fishing by fast water in a dam or something like a dam close to town and described the red and white dare devil spoon in great detail. He also went hunting once with his uncle, who was a veteran of war, not sure which one, I think Korea. The boy describes burying his head in his uncles Chesapeake Bay Retrievers fur to mask the smell of his uncles booze bottle when opened in the truck on way to blind.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? It was not exactly an award winning novel but I would like to get a copy for old times sake.

Also all Jim Kjelgaard books
