"The fly fisherman is a unique breed of sportsman -- he loves the sparkle of sunlight dancing of a trout stream, the heart thumping eruption of a surface strike by a large trout, as well as the friendships that grow up around the love of the sport, Here Peter Kaminsky writes about the passion of the angler and how that passion can imbue work, family, and friendships with special meaning. He explains how long days without fish can help us learn to deal with failure an how releasing a caught fish can remind us about ethics. He offers inspiration to readers who love the sport a much as he does, advice on getting older, and even an essential reading list for fly fishers, His book is like a wise fishing buddy in an easy-to-carry package."
And I loved it. It was light, charming, and made me wish I was a fly fisherman too. -
