A beautifully written tribute to the art and essence of fly fishing. Acclaimed author, guide and columnist Philip Weigall takes readers through a year in the life of a fly fisher, blending reflective essays and stories that capture the joys, challenges, quiet victories, frustrations and pure contentment found on rivers and lakes around the world. From why you should think carefully before offering to net someone else’s fish, and how it is that sometimes the unlikeliest waters have the most to offer and discovering the unexpected rewards of unlikely waters, to pondering why the perfect fly seems to be missing at the crucial moment, this book speaks directly to the heart of every angler who knows that fishing is about more than catching fish – it’s a way of life. Insightful, engaging and full of passion, it is the perfect gift for anyone who cherishes the rhythm of water, seasons and the cast of a line. Full colour illustrations at chapter headings throughout. Excellent condition. Hardcover, 14cm x 20cm, 185 pages.
