Thomas McGuane's obsession with fish has taken him from the river in his backyard to the holiest waters of the fly fishers' world. As he travels, the fish take him to many and various subjects ripe for random speculation: rods and reels, the classification of anglers according to the flies they prefer, family and memory, right down to why fishermen lie. The book sets the heart pounding for a glimpse of moving water, and demonstrates what a life dedicated to fly fishing reveals about life. Good condition. Softcover, 280 pages, 19,5cm x 13cm.
