Roderick Haig-Brown has
been hailed as one of the greatest writers on fly fishing and its many
moods since his work was first published in the 1930's. Today his writings
about the rivers he loved, the trout and salmon that obsessed him, and the
life of an angler are as stirring, amusing, and powerfully felt as they
were when first published.
In seven parts, the book
moves from discovering the river to the fish that live in it, from the art
of fishing to the philosophy that underlies it. The 54 sparking essays in
this collection - the only compilation of essays from his many famous
titles - include such classics as "Fly Types" a mediation on the
appropriate flies for different conditions; "Perfect Morning",
in which he shares the joys of the catch; and "What is Good?", a
musing about luck. Illustrated with 16 black and white plates and brimming
with the sights, smells, and tastes of the river, this stunning collection
is a beautiful tribute to fly fishing and love of the land.
