Description
|
|
|
|
Fly fishing is a philosopher's sport, an activity best suited for the introspective and discerning mind. From the rivers and streams of fly-fishing country, anglers have pondered the meaning of fly fishing, catching (and releasing) trout, and life. Insightful and amusing, this compact tribute to the sport features commentary that speaks to those very things, from such sages of the stream as Norman MacLean, John Voelker, John Gierach, and Izaak Walton, illuminated with period advertisements, photographs, paintings, and illustrations; the endpapers, for example, are decorated with an array of 60 flies available from Abbie & Imbrie in 1929.
