The sign of a good book is that it makes you want to go fishing! A delightful collection of humorous anecdotes and heartfelt observations, the author shares the joy and wisdom he’s accumulated while honing his skills as a fly fisherman. While telling stories about time spent on the river, he covers a lot of emotional territory with humour, wisdom and visual beauty. As he puts it, “the river acts like a washing machine for my brain”, recharging him and reminding him that anything is possible. This book shares personal stories from the author's life, including his struggles with dyslexia, his acting career and how fly fishing became a way for him to relax and connect with the natural world. The title expresses his belief that time spent on a river brings out the best in people, because fly fishing encourages calmness, respect for nature and thoughtful conversation. Beautiful full colour and b&w photographs throughout. Very good condition. Hardcover, 22.5cm x 18.5cm, 142 pages.
