What reading level is The Tarpon book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
My method of fishing in Cuba has been trolling a large sized Wilson spoon with sixty feet of line over the stern of a small launch. The launch travels at the rate of four miles an hour. If a fish is hooked in a wide part of the river I have the launch circle the fish. It is easy to land a 100-pound tarpon in 8 minutes by this method if you understand fighting fish.
If a fish is hooked in a narrow stream it is THE TARPON 15 necessary to keep the boat away from the fish until he is well spent. In... narrow streams you lose many fish for they jump into the over- hanging branches of the mangrove trees which line the banks and tumble back into the wa- ter leaving your tackle entangled among the branches.
The Cauto on the south coast is the only river in Cuba that is navigagable. The other streams are often from eight to ten feet deep, excepting where they flow into the sea; here you will find wide bars with but four feet of water.
It is a delight to fish in these rivers in winter for there are no sharks to rob you of your fish nor any insects of any kind excepting a few mosquitoes at sunset if your yacht happens to be five or ten miles up a river and moored to the windward bank.
