Ranging from the riotously comic to the nostalgic, edgy, and suspenseful, these short stories offer richly developed and engaging portraits of characters across the spectrum of life, all absorbed by the thrill of fly fishing. A marriage betrayal on a trout stream in the north woods; angler rage on the redfish flats of the Gulf of Mexico;, the intensity of combat fishing on a salmon pool in the Pacific Northwest-- all rendered in sparkling prose that will resonate with every angler, and delight any reader who enjoys outdoor pastimes.
