From the highly acclaimed author of and comes this collection of breathtakingly exquisite essays borne of a lifetime spent fishing.
The thirty-three essays in take us from the tarpon of Florida to the salmon of Iceland, from the bonefish of Mexico to the trout of Montana. They bring us characters as varied as a highly literate Canadian frontiersman and a devoutly Mormon river guide and address issues ranging from the esoteric art of tying flies to the enduring philosophy of a seventeenth-century angler. Infused with a deep experience of wildlife and the outdoors, both reverent and hilarious by turns, sets the heart pounding for a glimpse of moving water and demonstrates what dedication to sport reveals about life.
