Babb will read from his most recent book, “Fish Won’t Let Me Sleep,” which goes fly-fishing from Searsport to Scotland, from Portage to Patagonia and pretty much everywhere in between. Babb was born and raised a fly-fisherman in the East Tennessee hills and moved to Waldo County in 1972.He has worked variously as a truck driver, lobster fisherman, newspaper reporter, magazine columnist and an editor of seafaring and outdoors books for McGraw-Hill, W.W. Norton and The Lyons Press. In 1995, Babb began writing the angling column for Gray’s Sporting Journal and, in 1997, became Gray’s editor. He retired in 2016 … having found work interferes with fishing.
